The xml-apis I have came bundled with JBoss 3.2.7 (admittedly ancient)
and uses the JAXP 1.2 spec as per the JAR's manifest file.
I don't see an org.w3c.dom.xpath package in either my 1.5 JRE classes
or this xml-apis JAR. I do see a org.w3c.dom.xpath package in my Xalan
2.6 JAR but those in
Now that I think of it there are several APIs (org.w3c.dom.xpath for
example) bundled in xml-apis.jar which are not included in the JAXP 1.3
specification (and by extension Java 5) that Xerces and Xalan depend on.
Sun may have shipped them but there's no guarantee that they'll be there.
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response. If I understand you correctly, xml-apis
is an improvement rather than a true requirement when running with
Java 5.0.
All of the interfaces, classes that are implemented or subclassed by
Xalan are available with Java 5 so I would not run into any class
loadin
Hi Bradley,
xml-apis.jar contains bug fixes (and even performance improvements) [1]
which may not be in Java 5 so you may be trading these off by not carrying
the jar with your application.
Thanks.
