Some notes

A newer digester version (i.e. commons-digester-1.7.jar) seems to be needed to get Escenic (both versions 4.1-4c and 4.1-5) to work on a Tomcat 5.0 application server.

To use the JSTL 'XML tags' (for example, for XSLT), newer versions of xalan, xerces and xml-apis are needed (in this case taken from Xerces-J 2.7.0).

jaas.jar is only used with jdk1.3. For jdk1.4 and later jaas is part of the jdk.
