Hi Gunther, >> "...Presumably there is some other SAX parser factory on your classpath, >> e.g. Xerces. Can you confirm this?..."
That's correct!!! I am using BaseX for the following tasks: - XSD 1.1 validations via Xerces-J 2.12.2 - XSLT 3.0 transformations via Saxon-HE 12.5 To do that, and following official BaseX way, their assemblies are copied to the following directory: c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom Here is a list of Xerces jar files: c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom\icu4j-69_1.jar c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom\cupv10k-runtime.jar c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom\org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2.processor_1.2.1.jar c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom\xercesImpl.jar c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom\xml-apis.jar Here is a list of Saxon jar files: c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom\lib\jline-2.14.6.jar c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom\lib\xmlresolver-5.2.2.jar c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom\lib\xmlresolver-5.2.2-data.jar c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom\saxon-he-12.5.jar c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom\saxon-he-test-12.5.jar c:\Program Files (x86)\BaseX\lib\custom\saxon-he-xqj-12.5.jar In such case, will it work the suggestion to tweak the SAXParserFactory setting? And where exactly should I put that line? javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl Regards, Yitzhak Khabinsky
