I ran into a similar problem when i first started using Xerces. Xerces expects
the name of the file to be in proper URI format:
file:///C:\apps\jas\etc\ds.xml,
instead of C:\apps\jas\etc\ds.xml
If this indeed is the problme, specifying the filename in URI form should fix
it.Hope this helps.

Subject: RE: SAXException
Hi there,
I'm in the process of trying to convert a programme from using many
different parsers, to just using the Xerces one... and I encountered the
same problem. I'm sure my project is in the classpath (which is set thru a
batch file) but when I run I get : File: C:\apps\jas\etc\ds.xml not found.
Any other ideas why it might not be working? (I converted a
NonValidatingDomParser from ibm to a DOMParser)
Thanks in advance,
Allison
