Hello!
I've wasted two days figuring out what's wrong, so:
If you are trying to use Xalan's redirect extension, and you get a Java error message that the required class is not found, is because you are probably using one of the more recent Java distributions.
They come packed with an earlier version of Xerces, that Xalan uses for redirect, and this is causing the error message. I could not overwrite this, for various reasons.
My solution was to download an earlier version of the JVM (I've found it at IBM's), it was 1.3, as proposed on Xalan Java's site.
Now Xalan was able to use the Xerces jar that was shipped with it, because it was no longer 'outdated' to the new version.
