How do you start xmlBlaster?
I believe you use some other sax parser in you CLASSPATH.

Try

   java -jar lib/xmlBlaster.jar 

without any CLASSPATH set.
Do you have a stack trace?

You can ignore this.
xmlBlaster runs fine without a CORBA naming service.

If ou need one for some third party CORBA clients,
just start a naming service (as described in the
INSTALL file). XmlBlaster will detect it and register itself.

I have no clue what this could be (related to 1. ??)

You don't need jaco anymore.
We will remove it in future versions.

Put those two files in your HOME directory or in your current directory.

XmlBlaster should run without those as well, as it uses
nice default values if the property files are missing.

Good luck,
