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.
Stan.
