[NEWBIE] Xerces/SAX configuration problems

[I Hate Sheep]

Hello all. Really stupid newbie question, so thanks in advance to
anyone who can take the time to help me out.
I'm planning to write some software using XML as a basic document
format. I'm working under a Windows platform here. I've downloaded
version 2.7.1 of Xerces, and have unzipped it to C:\xerces-2_7_1\. I've
added all the jar files to my path, and am now trying to compile and
execute some of the sample code provided with the Xerces distribution.
The code compiles without any complaints, but when I try to execute it,
it returns a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException referencing
org.apache.xerces.parser.SAXParser.
I know I've done something stupidly obviously wrong here, but I can't
figure out what. Any enlightenment would be gratefully received.

Cheers.

Hi Sheephater,

put the xercesImpl.jar and the xml-apis.jar in
%JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/ext
and try again.
