Error building FOP with current Xalan

[Frank Griffin <ft...@ntplx.net>]

I checked out the Xalan1 code in toto from CVS about a week ago, built it, and got this error using it to build FOP from a code tree which built correctly using some older xalan.jar that had come bundled with Xerces.  I just refreshed the Xalan sources from CVS and rebuilt, and I'm still getting it:

According to the Xalan docs, there is supposed to be a default parser liason for Xerces.  However, in the source tree, while there is an xml-xalan/java/src/org/apache/xalan/xpath/xml directory, there are no source files in it.  Also, the jar resulting from the (successful) Xalan build has no xpath entry at all in the org/apache/xalan directory.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Frank Griffin

Thanks, Gary, that is it exactly.  I assumed that the Xalan directory structure was the same as the Xerces, and was building XalanJ2 without realizing.

The source code for XalanJ1 is located in the src directory off the
xml-xalan directory.  This is different from the java/src directory
which is for XalanJ2.  Basically, everything under the java directory is
for XalanJ2, everything under the c directory is for XalanC and
everything else, except the testing stuff in test is for XalanJ1.

It sounds like you built the jar for XalanJ2 while your Ant taskdef is
looking for XalanJ1.
