Thanks for the response. I actually came up with a solution and
explanation already and hadn't posted it to the list yet.

Apparently, from what I have read, this is an issue with Java version
1.4.x. They included xalan version 2.4.something in rt.jar, along with
some other apis. You can override the versions included by passing
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/some/path/to/your/jars to the JVM when you call
it. It is the "Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism."
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/standards/index.html

I had did not run into this problem running my code with Java 1.5 on my
PC, so from what I can see they may have rid java of this "issue" with
1.5.

I am calling my Java from RPG so I set the QIBM_RPG_JAVA_PROPERTIES
environment variable in my job to include the above switch before I
called my code and it worked like a charm. It also turns out, that the
problem I was having last week with the "No suitable driver found" issue
(a different thread) may have been solved by getting it to load the
correct version of xalan as well... but I had already coded around that
problem so I am not certain.

And the Xalan classes that you want to run have the same names as the
ones already in rt.jar, correct? If so then the only thing I can think
of is to put the new Xalan jar file into the boot classpath. Here's a
Sun article that (among other things) mentions how to do that:

and here's a link from this list a couple of years ago that mentions it:

Hello everyone,
        I am trying to use Xalan on the iSeries. Specifically, the
latest and greatest version (2.6.0). However, when I run my programs on
my iSeries it is loading the version included in rt.jar in:
/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/Java400/jdk/lib/rt.jar, even when I include the jar
file for the newer version in the classpath. Is there some way to force
it to use my version rather than that found in rt.jar, or am I out of
luck? If this has been answered before, I apologize and would appreciate
a link to the thread. Thanks for your help!
