Hi. Every one
Xalan version 1.0 is installed to my PC by default. I need to use Saxon instead. How can I disable Xalan and install Saxon.
Although the first part of my ClassPath is as follow: c:\saxon\saxon8.jar
 Xalan still the default processor. Just to know that I’m using Tomcat 4 as a web server.
Please help
Many thanks in advance

In my experience, rather than relying on the JAXP TransformerFactory searching the classpath, it's much more reliable to set the system property javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory explicitly to the value "net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl". You can do this in the init() method of your servlet code, and if you want to parameterize it you can read the relevant values from the web.xml configuration file.

Or to make it even more robust (and faster), if you don't mind having a compile-time reference to Saxon in your code, replace the call

factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

by

factory = new net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl();
