Marcel, Of course you are right. I knew there was nothing in the classpath but there is a copy of xerces.jar in the ext directory. I'll see what happens if I move that out of the way. The question is, why does xmlBlaster break with this SAX parser? Which is the more recent and what will break if I use the one bundled with xmlBlaster instead? I suppose that I will soon find out the answers. Thanks for the rapid help, I didn't think of looking in the ext directory right away.
If you find out please tell us on this mailing list.
thanks,
Marcel
