Hi, I use the reference jaxp.jar for JAXP from SUN with Xerces, Xalan and Saxon and all works fine. And I switch between Xalan and Saxon via the plugging mechanismen for testing my code and there is always no problem. Note that the *.jar s of the J2SDKEE contain some classes of the JAXP implementation. You must be sure that you use the actual one if you use it. For solving the problem you must be sure that no *.jar in your CLASSPATH in front of Xalan contains not actual implementations of JAXP, DOM and SAX. Regards Thomas
