Sarah McNamara commented on XALANJ-2185: ---------------------------------------- If you follow the link to http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N100D6 the doc there says: "JDK/JRE 1.4, and JDK/JRE 5.0 is packaged with an old version of Xalan-Java. The JDK/JRE will attempt to use this version instead of any on the classpath. Unfortunately, this causes problems when attempting to use a newer version of Xalan-Java. You can always determine which version of Xalan-Java you are running by using the EnvironmentCheck class or by using the xalan:checkEnvironment extension function. It is highly recommended that you use this method to verify the version of Xalan-Java you are running, especially before opening a bug report. To use a newer version of Xalan-Java and override the one packaged with the JDK: - use the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism. 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. The following methods do not work: - Using the CLASSPATH environment variable or using -classpath to place the new classes in the classpath. - Using the -jar option to explicitly execute the classes inside the new jar files.

I also found this class in this xml-apis.jar file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
