I believe the problem is that the XML APIs which are picked up at compile time are the ones included with JDK 1.4.2 which contain DOM Level 2, instead of the DOM Level 3 API in dom3-xml-apis.jar. Getting your application to compile against these APIs isn't as simple as putting them in your classpath, since the system libraries on the JVM's bootclasspath take precedence over your classpath. See this FAQ [1] from the Xalan docs which describes how to run it on JDK 1.4. This applies equally to running Xerces and building against new versions of endorsed standards with JDK 1.4.
