[ebxmlms-general] Digital signatures worries

[Gait B. <gai...@ti...>]

Hi,

I'm testing digital signatures, and get a warning from xalan.jar related =
to the JDK1.4 endorsed mechanism, while the MSH monitor hangs. From the =
exception log, I can tell that xalan doesn't like the way it was =
installed. This may be related to the fact that I'm running JDK1.4.1, =
rather than JDK1.4.0.=20
I tried the following:
* Copying the xalan.jar to c:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\lib\endorsed (it's already =
in c:\j2sdk1.4.1\jre\lib\endorsed)
* Running the monitor with c:\j2sdk1.4.1\jre\lib\endorsed\xalan.jar =
instead of ..\lib\xalan.jar in the CP
* Running the monitor with c:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\lib\endorsed\xalan.jar =
instead of ..\lib\xalan.jar in the CP
* Running the monitor without ..\lib\xalan.jar in the CP
All this to no avail, the last one gives a classNotDefFound error.
Full error trace:
