Thanks for the quick response. If I understand you correctly, xml-apis
is an improvement rather than a true requirement when running with
Java 5.0.
All of the interfaces, classes that are implemented or subclassed by
Xalan are available with Java 5 so I would not run into any class
loading (ClassNotFoundException) errrors.

Hi Bradley,
xml-apis.jar contains bug fixes (and even performance improvements)

which may not be in Java 5 so you may be trading these off by not
carrying
the jar with your application.
Thanks.

Hi,
Let me preface this by saying that I'm sure this has been answered
somewhere, but I searched the list archives and read what the Xalan J
documentation.
Is the xml-apis.jar still a dependency when running in Java 1.5?
Seems
like the JAXP classes that are needed come with the JVM now. Are
there
other things outside the JAXP 1.3 spec that are provided in this xml-
apis.jar that I need?
I have an application with Xalan running it already and I know that
it
does not have any problem, compiling or deploying so far without xml-
apis.jar in there. I've also tried some basic transformations.
Thanks,
Bradley
