> hummm ok that (jdk 1.3) could be a solution. i was using jdk 1.4.1 :( It's just a guess, but did you try to put the current Xalan in the 'endorsed' directory or setting the commandline parameters respectively as described e.g. on
http://xml.apache.org/~edwingo/jaxp-faq.html#override? See also http://sources.redhat.com/ml/docbook-apps/2002-q4/msg00291.html ANT probably finds the Java 1.4 included Xalan-Beta first, not considering what you telling it with the CLASSPATH at all (see e.g. http://xml.apache.org/security/install.html under "Using JDK 1.4.0").
