Well, the issues I am having with Orbeon Forms continue. The platform I am running on is Windows 2003 Server, Apache HTTP server (latest version) and Tomcat 6.0 (also tried version 5.5). I am beginning to believe that the issue is with Tomcat because when I start the Tomcat service, an orbeon.log file is created which reports errors about the Xerces XML parser. I have attached the log file to this message. I tried downloading the latest version of Xerces and placed the .jar files contained in the download in many different locations but keep getting the same errors in the log. For those unwilling to review the log file, here are the specific error messages contained therein:
--------- portion of log file which contains errors ----------------------------
Checking for Xerces, found version Xerces-J 2.9.0 needed version Xerces-J 2.9.1
Warning: Failed find a valid Parser!
Please add an appropriate Parser to the class-path, e.g. in the 'endorsed' folder of the servlet container or in the 'endorsed' folder of the JRE.
2009-04-08 11:34:47,140 WARN XmlLibraryChecker - Looking for a valid Transformer...
Checking for Saxon, found version 8.8 needed version 8.9.0
Checking for Xalan, found version Xalan Java 2.5.1 needed version Xalan Java 2.7.1
Warning: Failed find a valid Transformer!
Please add an appropriate Transformer to the class-path, e.g. in the 'endorsed' folder of the servlet container or in the 'endorsed' folder of the JRE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 'endorsed' folder referenced by the log file (see above) doesn't exist as far as I can tell.
Any ideas out there? If I ever get this figured out, I will write an installation guide for Orbeon that is much clearer than what is available today.

Interesting. Thanks for the feedback Erik. I will give that a try and post results in a follow up response.
