Hi Michael, thanx for the reply, this clears up alot of things. Now i know, that i can't use this package. Do you know by chance if there is a substitute for the functionality provided by this package? things like getChildElements() (Returns an NodeList containing the possible Element names that can appear as children of this type of element.) would be really useful for me. Thanx for your time, tom

We've been tracking the specs as they've progressed, as well as making many bug fixes. The implementation is still experimental so we do not include it in the standard distribution yet, but we do provide a DOM L3 beta distribution, the latest being: beta2-dom3-Xerces-J-bin.2.6.2.zip [1]. The org.apache.xerces.dom3.as package contains the API for DOM Level 3 Abstract Schemas [2], a specification which is no longer in development. As stated on the front page of the document, there are no plans for future work on it. This is why we've deprecated it. It may be removed in the future.
