I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do. My guess is that you want to use the parser independent JAXP interfaces to create a DOM tree and that you are trying to use the JAXP FCS reference implementation (RI) with Xalan and Xalan has a dependency on the DOM2 interfaces while the JAXP RI depends on DOM1 interfaces. If this is correct, then why not use the JAXP interfaces for Xerces? I am told that you need to build Xerces to get these. See /xml-xerces/java/src/javax/xml/*. Alternatively, if you want to use JAXP RI based parser code, you can build the crimson code which does implement DOM level 2 methods.
