I am using all of this under jdk 1.4 without any issues. I just had to include the extra jars that the newer version of saxon needed. By catching a higher exception the dependancy on saxon 8.1.1 can be removed and the saxon library will be pluggable with any upward version even on jdk1.4 ( Assuming that you include the new saxan dependant jars )
