Having trouble getting SAXON working...

["Buss, Jason A" <jabuss at cessna dot textron dot com>]

Hello everyone,

I cannot get SAXON to work on my NT box.  I tried to set up the
ParserManager.properties file to accept Xerces (it works fine with my Xalan
processor), but I keep getting an errors.  I cannot think of anything my
classpath might be missing.  Here is the error message:

Here is my CLASSPATH:

D:\jdk118\lib\classes.zip;D:\lotusxsl_1_0_1\xalan.jar;D:\lotusxsl_1_0_1\xerc
es.jar;D:\lotusxsl_1_0_1\samples\xalansamples.jar;D:\lotusxsl_1_0_1\bsf.jar;

1_0_1\compat.jar;d:\saxon\saxon.jar;d:\saxon\source.zip;d:\saxon\ParserManag
er.properties;

And this is my ParserManager.Properties file:

#ParserManager properties
#SAXON - Michael Kay, ICL, 14 Apriil 2000 (Michael.Kay@icl.com)

# List of SAX-conformant parsers

# Default parser. Change this to any installed parser. The value given is
the
# "short name" of a SAX-compliant parser or SAX2-compliant XMLReader,
# which must be present in the list below

defaultParser=xerces

# Parser search path. Used if the default parser cannot be loaded. The value
# is a list of "short names" of SAX-compliant parsers, which must be present
# in the list below. The first parser that can be loaded from the CLASSPATH
is
# the one used.

# the ordering puts SAX2 parsers first

parserPath=xerces;xpcomments;saxon;aelfred;datachannel;ibm;ibmval;lark;msxml
;oracle;silfide;sun;xp

# Parser short names. Extend this list if you install a SAX-compliant
# parser other than the ones listed. The value must be the name of a class
# that implements the org.xml.sax.Parser interface.

datachannel=com.datachannel.xml.sax.SAXDriver

I wanted to post this to the SAXON list, but I cannot seem to get
subscribed.  I think the verification reply might have bounced.

This may seem like a rudimentary problem, but I don't have a very extensive
java background, and to be honest, some of the intricacies of XPath and DOM
are still a bit beyond my reach.
