Whether you install your query engine as a standalone program or inside Adaptive Server, you must first access the XML parser. Sybase recommends the xerces.jar (vs.1.3.1) parser, available at
$SYBASE/ASE-12_5/lib/xerces.jar (UNIX )
%SYBASE%\5\ASE-12_5\lib/xerces.jar (Windows NT)
You can download the parser from:
Xerces Java Parser.
You can also use any parser that is compliant with SAX 2.0.
