Call Static Method on Class in a jar File

[YerMom]

I'm on windows xp and need to call a static method that is on a class in a jar file. The jar file is in my classpath. The class is Process and the method is also called Process.

The documentation I'm reading says to call the method as follows:

java com\sun\org\apache\xalan\internal\xslt.Process -in in.xml -xsl style.xsl -out out.html.

I've done so, but get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com\sun\org\apache\xa
lan\internal\xslt/Process

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks -- I'm a beginner at this.

Well it would be :

java com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xslt.Process -in in.xml -xsl style.xsl -out out.html

But you should probably read this depending on your JDK version :

Hi sedj,

I downloaded the latest xalan.jar file from the Apache website and also made your correction.

My transformation works fine.

BTW, did you already know about the bug you referenced in your post? I'm just wondering how you found out about it.

Thanks and regards.
