Not sure if I understand, but what I meant in my previous posting was that FactoryFinder is a _protected_ class so it does not show up in the JAXP API. JAXP consists of two packages: javax.xml.parsers and javax.xml.transform that both need the generic FactoryFinder code, so that class was essentially duplicated in both packages b/c it had to be _protected_ and not public. There is similar code that is part of the internals of the Sun JDK 1.4, but we could not use that b/c the code needs to run on older versions of the JDK. -Edwin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
