2. recompile xmldb-common with our Xalan/Xerces. I had to exclude the Xalan1 package from the compilation since it was, of course, just failing (but we don't use it anyway). I also hardcoded the xalan2 factory as the default factory in xmldb-commons, but this can be changed;
3. recompile xmldb-xupdate with the new Xerces/Xalan (I had no problem with that);
What I'm currently doing is compiling with xalan-2.4.1. And even if it compiles, the tests of xmldb-common and xmldb-xupdate fail. Could you execute the xmldb tests and report if they pass? AFAIK 2 xupdate tests fail. With xalan-2.4.1, all the tests fail...

PS: can you send me the diffs of your xmldb code?
