Symbol not found .. Transformer, Streamsource......

[mac2]

Hi all!!

I've downloaded xalan processor from apahe web-site. In the
xalan\samples\SimpleTransform directory, there is a jave file SimpleTransform.java. Tthis is a test file. I tried executing it but ended up with many errors. It says,
cannot resolve symbol and points to class names (TransformerFactory, Transformer, StreamSource etc..) in all the import statements given below. I am doing it on MS DOS. The classpath is perfectly set.

Could anybody explain me why this is happening? Your hep will be greatly appreciated. If you think I've downloaded an incorrect version of xalan, please suggest me the latest version.

import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerException;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException;


Thanks!

Hi,

I don't know what is wrong but I do know xalan doesn't like:

- comments
- html entities like & lt; (the space is so it shows here)
- unicode characters

Do you have to use xalan??

I know not everybody likes MS, but in this case their parser is lightyears ahead of the apache parser...
