Xalan 1.9/Xerces 2.6 Compatibility?

[Rush Manbert <ru...@manbert.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to get xsec to build using XCode on Mac OS X. I have managed 
to get a project put together that "solves" (via a hack) the header file 
issues, etc., but the build chokes because I have Xalan version 1.9 and 
Xerces 2.6. When I started this I was a total Apache newbie, and I began 
by getting the latest Xerces release, then adding Xalan, etc., and 
didn't pay close enough attention to the compatibility requirements for 
the current Xsec release.

Now I have two things I can do. One is go back and get the compatible 
versions of Xerces and Xalan and start over. I'm going to start work on 
that. The second is to ask this question:

Is there a development version of Xsec available that is compatible with 
the latest Xalan and Xerces releases?

Thanks,
Rush

The problems are between Xalan and Xsec. Method signatures have changed 
in at least two classes. Xsec will compile if I edit the coinfig file to 
exclude Xalan. That's what I have decided to do for now, since I'm 
trying to get a demo going.

Just so I understand - is the problem between Xalan and Xerces (Xalan is 
  very picky about its Xerces partner) or between Xalan and xsec?

I run an interop compile nightly against current CVS checkouts of 
Xalan/Xerces and always try to keep backwards compatbility of anything 
in CVS - but you might find that xsec 1.1 requires Xalan 1.8.  I have 
this memory of having to fix something a few months ago to match a 
change in Xalan.

Cheers,

My apologies. Yes, the problems are with Xalan. I'm looking at them 
again to see if I can make it work.

I can't speak for Xalan, but the 1.1 version does support Xerces 2.6 just
fine. Is your failure in the Xalan dependency?
