Re: Missing xpath method error from some classpath disaster or another

Benson,

  This could happen if Tomcat is bundling a different version of Xalan  
than the one you used to compile your webapp. You should check that.  
You can always bundle your own version of Xalan if classloading is set  
to support that in Tomcat. The Tomcat user list may be able to help  
you with that.
