Yes, you should use the version of Xerces which is included with Xalan;
that's why it's there!

This is not true.

Why do you want to use an old version of XALAN with a newer (but not latest)
version of XERCES?

>I am correct in stating that XALAN 1.0.1 will work fine with XERCES 1.2.0
??

Probably not, but a note on the Xalan list might get you a firm answer.
I recall that there were some compatibility issues between newer versions of
Xerces with older Xalan versions.

Is there a direct correlation between a version of XALAN and a version of
XERCES ?
In downloading the XALAN 1.0.1 package, XERCES 1.0.3 is included.

In reading the XALAN documentation, I understand that any version of
XERCES, or any other DOM parser can be used.

I bring this up as we are implementing the XALAN and XERCES and I want
to use the latest bug-free version of XERCES.

I am correct in stating that XALAN 1.0.1 will work fine with XERCES 1.2.0 ??
