Hi, Johannes -
I agree that this is frustrating. org.apache.xalan.utils was an old
package the contents of which were moved to org.apache.xml.utils. It is
possible that somehow a .java file did not get compiled on the build and
that an old .class file remains referring to the now non-existent
class. If that happened, we'll need to review our build procedure.
It is also possible that you have a .jar file in your classpath or your
lib/ext directory that contains an old release and that something is
picked up from there by mistake.
Can you include a stack trace from the thrown exception? Better yet,
can you try your transformation from the command line and verify that
the problem occurs there. Just do
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in inputfilename.xml -xsl
xsltfilename.xsl -edump
Also, if the problem does occur from there, it would help if you ran the
environment checker:
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.EnvironmentCheck [-out outFile]
and sent the output from that along with the stack trace. If the
problem does not occur at the command line, then a stray .jar in your
classpath is a possible problem.
I don't think you started off negative at all. You identified a problem
and brought it to everyone's attention -- nothing wrong with that.
That's how we'll continue to improve XalanJ!!
