Hi,
I copied a program SimpleJaxp.java (from Java & XSLT, OReilly) and ran it successfully within Eclipse, as a standalone prog. Now I wanted to use the same prog within my JBoss ear project - when I wrote the prog in Eclipse, there was no compile error and build was successful. However, once I deploy&run it in JBoss, I get the following NoClassDefFound error:

2007-07-12 17:59:32,623 ERROR [STDERR] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/transform/Result

The snippet of code, where it seems to be failing is:

javax.xml.transform.Source xmlSource = new
    javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(dir);
javax.xml.transform.Source xsltSource = new
    javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(xsltFile);
javax.xml.transform.Result result = new
    javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(System.out );


Both Eclipse and JBoss are using the same JDK on the same machine (Win XP), and when I look into rt.jar within [JDK]/bin, I see the path to javax/xml/transform/Result.class.
So then where is the problem??
I have spent just too many hours to resolve this!!! Driving me nuts.

javax.xml.transform.Result has been part of the standard library since JDK 1.4 IIRC, so it looks to me as if you are using an environment that is older than this.

This is really a Java/JBoss question, you are unlikely to find help on an XSLT forum.
