Re: XML parser: old version
Correct. Putting xerces.jar and xalan.jar at the start of the class path seems to work fine.

He simply wedited the tomcat.bat/tomcat.sh startup script to put the xerces xml parser in the classpath instead of the standard one. My only guess as to why xerces is not used by default is Tomcat's history as being Suns reference implementation? sam - Original Message - From: Sergey V. Udaltsov [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 22, 2001 9:31 AM Subject: XML parser: old version Hi all With Tomcat 3.2.2 RPMS, I got some XML parser. I suspect it is sun's JAXP implementation 1.0. It DOES NOT support namespaces (I found it from the error messages:) so it is not possible to use XSL in JSPs/Beans/servlets. Will it be any problem to use JAXP 1.1? Or Xerces? What is the current policy of using XML parsers in tomcat? Why tomcat does not use Xerces having the same Apache licence? Thanks for any comments Sergey
Re: xalan ApplyXSL sample servlet fails
The ApplyXSLT example also works under tomcat 3.2.2, the crucial thing being to include xalan.jar and xerces.jar in the CLASSPATH (and to exclude jaxp.jar and parser.jar.) Notes: 1. relative paths for dtd's etc. are relative to the webapps directory rather than the servlet context (both 3.2.1 and 3.2.2). 2. With debug=true, 3.2.2 replaces special chars by entities ( e.g., by %lt;) in error data sent by ApplyXSLT to the browser, whereas 3.2.1 left the html tags alone and displayed the errors properly. 3. I am using jdk1.3.1, xerces 1.2.3, and xalan 2.0.0 on Windows 2000.

xalan ApplyXSL sample servlet fails
Any pointers to additional info, a working example, or direct help in resolving the following would be most appreciated. Stan Devitt == I am attempting to run the servlet example that is part of the xalan1.2.2 zip file - specifically with DefaultApplyXSL, whose purpose is to apply xslt transformations. I am using tomcat 3.2.1. (more details below) I have installed the servlet in a Test context and a sample xml and style file tested independently. I successfully link to the servlet using: http://localhost:8080/Test/servlet/DefaultApplyXSL? debug=trueURL=/Test/main.xmlxslURL=/Test/styles/main.xsl but the transformation fails in the process method in ApplyXSL during xslprocessor.process(xmlSource, xslSource, outBuffer); The debug response indicates that a) it is finding the servlet, b) it is finding the xml file and its style file, however, a SAX exception occurs while it is being processed to generate html output - the log shows SystemId Unknown; Line 1; Column 1; SystemId Unknown; Line 0; Column 0; Exception is org.xml.sax.SAX Exception Additional Notes: 1. The xml and style file has been validated and successfully transformed using both xt and xalan in command line mode. 2. I am using tomcat 3.2.1, together with jdk1.3.1, xerces 1.2.3 and xalan 1.2.2 on Windows 2000. 3. There is no DOCTYPE in the xml file, nor is there a style sheet processing instruction. 4. The xalan.jar and xerces.jar files are at the start of the class path. Thanks in advance.
Re: xalan ApplyXSL sample servlet fails
I got it (or rather, DefaultApplyXSLT) to work. The resolution was: 1. Use xalan-j_2_0_0, and the servlet example from there which uses ApplyXSLT 2. Clean up my careless classpath usage of jar files leading instead with xalan.jar and xerces.jar from the xalan2_0_0 distribution. 3. Be sure to get the right path to the servlet as the new servlet example is now in a servlet package instead of the top level of the context.) (I am now using tomcat 3.2.1, together with jdk1.3.1, xerces 1.2.3 and xalan 2.0.0 on Windows 2000.) Thanks.

I had (possibly) a very similar problem last week. After combing through maillists etc, I found a reference suggesting that there was a conflict with the xerces xml parser and the xml parser included with tomcat. It suggested removing parser.jar and jaxp.jar from the classpath in the tomcat startup scripts (tomcat.bat for me). That worked for me. I've only been playing with it for a day or two, but it doesn't seem to break tomcat and now my xalan-based servlets function. Chris
