Thank you Eliot.



It's not relevant to this list but at the moment I have stability problems with my Ubuntu on an USB key.
I'll move back to Mandriva with was more stable on an USB key used with different PCs.

The Mandriva I'm using doesn't even have a Java platform!



So if I understand your instructions correctly:
- install the Java JRE (obviously for SaxonJ under linux)
- install Xerces
- if Saxon still complains about using gnu.XML.SAXParser (I didn't try under Mandriva), use the class you mention.

As I'm a total newbie about Java (and at the moment not a lot of time to learn about it), is the package you mention (org.fasb.xerces) already part of Xerces and I just add -x SchemaValidatingCatalogResolvingXMLReader to Saxon,
or do I have to type somewhere the classes you give as examples?


Thank you as well for the explaination about ID... and I glad I didn't need any IDs on my XML!



Best regards.
Alain.
