Xalan in Applets under Java Plugin 1.4.0_01

["Burgermeister, Thomas" <th...@dv-ma.de>]

Hello all,

i've got an urgent problem using xalan.jar under Sun's plugin 1.4.0_01.

Some details about:

There's no problem downloading xalan.jar to Java_Home\lib\endorsed before loading the rest of the Applet.
Running the Applet causes essential problems, but there are no exceptions thrown.

By the way - closing and restarting the Browser then leads to the expected results, because xalan.jar is already loaded to the endorsed-directory.

We're using xalan.jar not directly as it's delivered (together with xerces.jar and xml-apis.jar) as part of a software package from another company.

Here's the result of the EnvironmentCheck:

#---- BEGIN writeEnvironmentReport($Revision: 1.5 $): Useful properties found: -

#---- BEGIN Listing XML-related jars in: foundclasses.sun.boot.class.path ----

version.DOM=2.0
version.xalan1=not-present
#----- END writeEnvironmentReport: Useful properties found: -----
# YAHOO! Your environment seems to be OK.

Is there any workaround for this problem (i.e. ClassLoader?).

Thank you very much in advance!!!

 Hi Thomas,

 You have misplaced xalan.jar and rest of files (xercesImpl.jar &
 xml-apis.jar). These files need to be in 

 JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed instead of  JAVA_HOME/lib/endorsed.

 So, Classloader is picking up xalan 2.2-D10 from rt.jar within Sun 
 Jdk 1.4.0_01 and not latest one. 

 Please correct it and work happily  :-)

 Thanks
 - Gopal
