Hi, Answering my own question. Trying to compile with the JDK1.2.2 javac gave a better error message, the classic couldn't find javax.xml.parser.ParserConfigurationException.class
A somewhat educated guess led to download JAXP from java.sun.com, and of course jaxp.jar has that class. Now everything compiles in jdk1.2.2 and 1.3.1. As a new user to log4j, although one who's read all the documentation, I didn't see a reference to jaxp. The requirements say jdk1.1 and later. I suggest the documentation reflect this requirement.
