Re: Problems with LotusXSL.

Michel,

IBM made lots of changes to their XML parser from version 1.1.14  and
2.0. They even made some changes between 2.0 and 2.0.3. Depending on how
Scott wrote LotusXSL, he may be depending on IBM's older architecture. I
know I've had to make many changes to my processor and basically
redesign my processor to get it to work with XML4J 2.0.3. 

The reason you are getting "Attribute not declared" errors is because
IBM made their "TX" Compatibility classes call their ValidatingDOMParser
by default.

If LotusXSL doesn't currently support 2.0.3, it will. I suggest using
XML4J 1.1.14 for now.
