Use of XML operators
Requires that the JAXP parser classes (such as Apache
Xerces) and the Apache Xalan classes are in the classpath. Attempts to use
XML operators without these classes in the classpath result in an error. In
some situations, you may need to take steps to place the parser and Xalan in
your classpath. See "XML data types and operators" in the
for details.
