jaxp-1.1 wierdness

[Jeff Gaer]

org.w3c.dom.Node class is supposed to be expanded in jaxp-1.1. to have a method setPrefix(String s) among other things. However when I try to reference that method using jdk1.3.1 and with the three jaxp1.1 jar files in my classpath ( and nothing else other than '.'. I get
Method setPrefix(java.lang.String) not found in interface org.w3c.dom.Node
Inspecting with javap sure enough there is no setPrefix method. However if I import the jar files ( either the crimson.jar or the xalan.jar both have the w3c interfaces), I see that the method is defined. So I have the curous situation where visual age seems to work but the sun jdk does not ( i know thats not likely).
I suspect that the w3c classes must be coming from 'somewhere' else, but I have no idea why. Code compiled in visualage does run fine under tomcat, but I can not compile with the sun jdk because of this.
