Hi there, 

I believe this is down to Saxon being picked up in the classpath. I have bundled
Xerces into the trunk and updated the launch script. Please can you try this 
out and
see if it works?

svn checkout http://xml-dir-listing.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ 
xml-dir-listing-read-only
cd xml-dir-listing-read-only
ant test-cli-unix

The latest release hopefully fixes this issue by updating the classpath in the 
launch
script.

Thanks mcundiff1 for the help!

I have this BASH script that does a reasonable job, and can be easily 
customised.

However I'm sure xml-dir-listing is faster and better.

I use 

scriptname <dir> | xmllint --format - | less

For dir, you can use . .. ./ ../ or / as well.

#!/bin/bash

# WARNING: To break this, you need to enter a lot of ctrl-c's

# heavy recursion so allow a bigger stack
ulimit -s 32768

# run with low priority so you can do other stuff while it works
renice -n +19 -p $$

function doDir {
  # directory name may contain illegal XML characters so we won't use attributes
  #echo "<dir name=\"${1}\">"
  echo "<dir>"
  echo "<dirname><![CDATA[${1}]]></dirname>"
  # get all files and directories
  ls -Ab1 "$1/" | while read file; do
    # recursively process directories but not sym-links
    if [ -d "${1}/${file}" ] && [ ! -h "${1}/${file}" ]; then
      # don't do . and .. either
      if [ "$file" != "." ] && [ "$file" != ".." ]; then
        doDir "${1}/${file}"
      fi
    else
      # output the file
      echo "<file><![CDATA[$file]]></file>"
    fi
  done
  echo "</dir>"
}

# normalise initial directories so they all work
DIR=$1
if [ "."   == "$DIR" ]; then DIR="$(pwd)"   ; fi
if [ ".."  == "$DIR" ]; then DIR=".."       ; fi
if [ "../" == "$DIR" ]; then DIR=".."       ; fi
if [ "./"  == "$DIR" ]; then DIR="$(pwd)"   ; fi
if [ "/"   == "$DIR" ]; then DIR=""     ; fi

doDir $DIR
