hey It would be better if u put the xerces.jar file first in ur classpath As far as execution is concerned why do u need u unjar tha xerces .jar.
first of all u remove the xerces dir from jdk1.3 and put this in ur root directory. set the classpath as set classpath=%classpath %.;c:/xerces-1_3_0\xerces.jar; all u need to do is compile the java class and run it depending on the type of parsing(sax/dom) ur using I thnk this should wrk out Regards Raj ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Roberts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2001 5:11 PM Subject: Re: this is killing me - NoClassDefFoundError > On Fri, 23 Mar 2001, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > All I'm trying to do is try out Xerces.
