Hi, Nirmal, The recommended mechanism is documented in the Derby Developer's Guide:
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/devguide/devguide-single.html#cdevstandardsxml Hope this a) makes sense and b) works. Kim On 07/19/10 10:10 AM, Nirmal Fernando wrote:
Hi All, I used xalan.jar's classes to convert a XML to HTML using an XSL style sheet. I was successfully compile and build the code. But yesterday Bryan mentioned that the code is failed to compile successfully, in his environment. Today I found that problem is with JDK version and xalan. JDK/JRE by default contain a xalan-java classes in it and according to xalan site (http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N100EF) JDK/JRE 1.4, and JDK/JRE 5.0 is packaged with an old version of Xalan-Java and the JDK/JRE will attempt to use this version instead of any on the classpath. In my case I didn't get any errors is because, I'm using java 1.6.0, but Bryan (Derby as well) using java 1.4.2. For this problem there's a work around given at Xalan site. It is, "To use a newer version of Xalan-Java and override the one packaged with the JDK: use the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/standards/). Place the xalan.jar, serializer.jar, xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar in the <java-home>\lib\endorsed directory, where <java-home> is where the runtime software is installed." Another option would be to avoid using new version of xalan, and try to use old version that is packaged with JDK/JRE 1.4. I'm now looking the possibilty of using old version of xalan. If you have any other idea please suggest me. Thank you very much! -- Best Regards, Nirmal C.S.Nirmal J.
