Ilene, thanx for your response. I've tried to set the SAXParserFactory and that caused another exception: javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider null could not be instantiated: java.lang.NullPointerException...
Meanwhile I have been "digging" again and I have seen that I was on the wrong path... It was not my xerces.jar & xalan.jar that caused the problem but the jdom.jar (I also use in my classpath). The jdom.jar seems to have a problem with xalan depending on it's sequence. If the jdom.jar comes before the xalan.jar there's no problem. But if xalan.jar is added to the classpath before the jdom.jar the problem arrise. Again, I don't understand why. Jdom.jar doesn't contain any class that is in the xalan.jar, so there can't be any conflicts with the classes... Does someone know something about jdom.jar & xalan.jar why they have other results depending on there sequence in the classpath? Thanx.
