I've got the strongest feeling that you're actually not using the newest Xalan & Xerces, then.
Some version of Xerces & Xalan is included in Sun's JDK 1.4 (inside rt.jar). rt.jar is a bootstrap jar; in a search for a class, the class will always be picked up from the bootstrap classpath if it's there at all. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Börkel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Xalan Mailinglist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 12:52 PM Subject: RE: J2RE 1.4 & Xalan-J 2 > HI! > > I am using JDK 1.4 and the newest Xerces and Xalan versions without problems and I have not changed to bootclasspath.
