Hi Anderson,
Xerces doesn't implement XPathFactory. Xalan does.
It would be better to ask questions about Xalan on the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list instead of the Xerces-J list.
Also, keep in mind that you're using Sun's fork of Xalan. The developers in
Apache have no idea what modifications have been made to this fork and may
not be able to help you unless you switch over to using the real
(org.apache.xpath.*) Apache version.
Thanks.
