| Hi Gopal,

| 
|       javac -extdirs d:\xml-xalan\java\build\xalan.jar
| src\org\apache\xalan\templates\FuncKey.java

| where xalan.jar is a prebuilt modern Xalan binary; and
| 
|       javac -extdirs d:\xml-xalan\java\src
| src\org\apache\xalan\templates\FuncKey.java
| 
| Both gave me 56 compilation errors under Sun JDK 1.4.1.  :(

  Hmm .. I didn't hear any suchthing. Could you provide me the bug # ?
  Yesterday i saw this result:-
  
  % javac -J-showversion -extdirs $L_HOME -verbose TestTransformation.java
java version "1.4.0_00"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_00-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_00-b05, mixed mode)

ce.class)]

 As you see above, it is loading javax.* files from rt.jar and Version from
 new xalan.jar. This is what confused me as i thought Version class was there
 in rt.jar. 
 
 -extdirs is working properly and it's not overriding the classes
 either in 1.4.0 or 1.4.1.

 Yep, -extdirs won't work.
 
 The solution, I found is -- change the sequence of class loading using
 bootclasspath means use:
 
 %  javac -bootclasspath
    $L_HOME/xalan.jar:$L_HOME/xsltc.jar:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar 
     -J-showversion -verbose src/org/apache/xalan/templates/FuncKey.java

 It works in both Sun Jdk 1.4 and 1.4.1. 

 Thanks

|  Have you tried javac -extdirs <dir> <files> ? In this case, javax.xml.*

| |

| |       javac -J-Xbootclasspath/p:modern_xalan_dir modern_xalan_files
| |
| | but this still doesn't seem to permit classes to be prepended to the
| | cootclasspath that javac's using.
| |
| | Any ideas greatly appreciated!
