Re: xalan-2.0.0.jar and xerces-1.2.3.jar in classpath not working ...

Hello!

Yes, that's probably the case.
Well, it seems to me, JRun 3.1 uses rather old xml parser and xslt processor 
by default, (like websphere 3.5 does, btw), so you have to upgrade them (see
http://www.macromedia.com/v1/Handlers/index.cfm?ID=22729&Method=Full) or 
override them by adding new versions in %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\ext directory, 
what you have done successfully.
