I have downloaded xalan 2.7.0 (that seems to be the latest release

Bryan into the jre/lib/ext directory of my JDK 1.4. This did slightly
change the output of the environmental report created by
org.apache.xalan.xslt.EnvironmentCheck. Unfortunately, that report still
says that my xalan version is 2.4.1. Here's the output of "java
org.apache.xalan.xslt.EnvironmentCheck". Still puzzled. Thanks.
If you're using Sun JDK 1.4 then there is an embedded version of Xalan that is
version 2.4.1. That's what you're seeing in your "EnvironmentCheck". In order
to use the Xalan 2.7 jar files you have to override the JDK embedded Xalan by
using "Java Endorsed Standards":
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/standards/
Or to be more specific, create an "endorsed" directory under
<java-home>/jre/lib/ and then put the Xalan 2.7 jars into that directory. In
particular the jars you need are:
xalan.jar
xercesImpl.jar
xml-apis.jar
Hopefully that'll solve the problem...
Note: If you're using Sun JDK 1.5 or later I think you just have to include the
Xalan 2.7 jars in your classpath and that should be it.
