   Xerces is part of the CVS (once you bild everything). If the version
there does not work, we need to find why and replace it. (I have still one
unanswered email from Ninan about perhaps something similar.) If you start
using a different xerces, you will never stay compatible with jMoby
CVS. So my suggestion is: do not download xerces but find what wrong with
the existing one. (This is a suggestion for Paul, as the class author, not
for you, Gustavo.)

   If you use CVS, it always use the latest classes. Do not use any
jMOBY.jar taken from somewhere else. But perhaps I did not fully
understand this point.

   Yes, you need an XML parser - and jdom.jar is part of CVS (again, once
you build there everything).
   Remember, however, that both input and output moby data are wrapped in
the same envelope - so, unless you want to extract information from this
envelope, such as crosss-references, you can just pass the output of one
services directly as an input to another service without even looking into
it.

   Cheers,
