Gopal, I stand corrected. Based on the FAQs at http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/faq.html
the bundled version in JDK 1.4.0 of the parser implementation is Crimson. I was hoping that with the JDK 1.4.1 version they would upgrade to the latest version of Xerces 2. Although there is a statement in the FAQ that starts as follows: "The Sun J2SE 1.4 RI uses Apache software for its implemenation of JAXP 1.1 with package names unchanged from Apache software distributions" (search for it). The same question applies to Xalan. What version of Xalan is bundled with JDK 1.4.1? Based on the FAQs above, 1.4.0 bundled Xalan 2.2. I presume then that 1.4.1. does yet support the latest version of Xalan (2.4?). Sorry this last fact question/fact does not apply to this distribution list. -----Original Message----- From: Gopal Sharma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 9:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Xerces version in JDK 1.4.1 "Julio Castillo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:- | | As I understand starting with SDK 1.4 an older version of Xerces was | bundled with the JDK. | | Sun's SDK 1.4.1 was recently released.

You may have utilized by putting Xerces into endorsed. To directly answer your question, You need not to place xmlParserAPIs.jar in endorsed, if you are using JAXP APIs directly.
