I have just installed XALANJ2 version 2.3.1 and I have a problem similar to the 
one described in bugzilla bug number 5336.

I ran the simpletrans sample application included with Xalan and with the 
verbose option turned on, I get the following (last few lines of output)

org.xml.sax.SAXException: javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider
for javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory cannot be found

        at SimpleTransform.main(SimpleTransform.java:90)
[Loaded java.lang.Shutdown$Lock from C:\PROGRAM FILES\JAVASOFT\JRE\1.3.1_02\lib\
rt.jar]

to confirm that my environment is correct I ran the provided application 
ENVCHECK with the following result

the batch file used to produce this contains the following and was run from the 
directory containing all the required files

java -classpath xalan.jar;xml-apis.jar;xerceslmpl.jar -verbose 
org.apache.xalan.xslt.EnvironmentCheck -out outFile

The batch file to run the Simpletrans sample contained the following and was 
run from the same directory as the Envcheck above

java -classpath xalan.jar;xml-apis.jar;xerceslmpl.jar;xalansamples.jar -verbose 
SimpleTransform


I do not have a jaxp.properties file anywhere on my system

I have tried to add the -D option on the JAVA command line to force things but 
this made no difference at all

in the xalan.jar file, there is a javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory of 
TRANSFORMERFACTORY file type which contains the following
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl

There is no xerces.jar nor crimsom.jar files anywhere on my system.

The Java version I am using is as follows

C:\Stephan\xmlconv>java -version
java version "1.3.1_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_02-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_02-b02, mixed mode)

I am currently running on an IBM thinkpad running at Windows 95 

I hope I have provided all the information you need, but please let me know 
what else I can provide you to help in resolving this

Thanks in advance
