org.w3c.dom.Node is an *interface*, so the org.w3c.dom library distributed by the W3C will have enough information for the compiler to work, but my guess is that the
actual implementation of the DOM you're using (you don't say what it is) doesn't support importNode. My CLASSPATH suggestion might have been phrased better "figure out which *implementation* of the DOM you're actually picking up (via the CLASSPATH or whatever) and make sure that it supports importNode()."
Also, the spec says that importNode is a method on the Document interface, not the Node interface... the exception looks like you were trying to access the importNode method on Node. I can't explain why it would work on NT but not Solaris! I'm not Java expert; I just noticed that you're having problems with importNode(), which is new to Level 2, and that led to the hypothesis that a difference in your DOM implementations on the different platforms may be the root of your problems.
