Problems running Xalan in a servlet

["Tallamy, Stephen C" <st...@gb.unisys.com>]

I'm having problems running Xalan in a servlet. I can run a conversion as a
standard Java Application but when I run the same code as a servlet I get
the following error:

log3: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
log3: 	at
org.apache.xpath.DOM2Helper.getLocalNameOfNode(DOM2Helper.java:326)
log3: 	at
org.apache.xalan.templates.TemplateList.getHead(TemplateList.java:471)
log3: 	at
org.apache.xalan.templates.TemplateList.getTemplate(TemplateList.java:528)
log3: 	at
org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemForEach.transformSelectedNodes(ElemForEach.ja
va:432)
log3: 	at
org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemApplyTemplates.execute(ElemApplyTemplates.jav
a:193)
log3: 	at

erImpl.java:2202)
log3: 	at

log3: 	at
org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.run(TransformerImpl.java:2942)
log3: 	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484)

What is the problem here?

Stephen --

If it is a DOM other than one generated by a recent version of Xerces (e.g.,
one out of a different parser, one from an XML database that provides a
DOM-like interface (e.g., Tamino), etc.), you may be looking at an
implementation that claims it's DOM2-compliant (i.e., supports namespaces
and supplies the method to get the local name) but isn't (i.e., doesn't
supply the method).

So, what is generating the DOM for Xalan to run against?
