Hi Todd, Gopal, Morris and all,
I've now tried using the endorsed standards mechanism (both using the
-extdirs option to javac and by setting the java.endorsed.dirs system
property). No luck. So I eviscerated the rt.jar file shipped with Sun
1.4.1 by whacking all org.apache classes, and *that* does work.
But that isn't an acceptable solution from my standpoint. As background,
my standpoint is that of a Xerces developer who wants Xerces to be
buildable on any JDK; Xerces is now being shipped in IBM versions of 1.4,
so we've finally run into this problem.
I guess my next step will be to try and throw together a custom Ant task
that overrides javac's bootstrap in just the right way, in a
vendor-dependent manner. Is this really the only choice--surely somebody
in the Xalan community must have licked this problem already, since Xalan's
been shipped in JDK's for so long now..???
As always, all ideas much appreciated!
Cheers,
Neil

Hi Neil,
Have you tried to put 'modern' version of Xalan in your jre/lib/endorsed
directory under the JDK1.4.x directory? Not sure if this is the problem
but I would give it a try.
Thanks,
Todd
