XMLDB in servlets

[Florin Tudor <fl...@sap.ro>]

I have a BIG problem:
When I compile and run Example1.java that comes in the Developer's Guide, it's OK. (a basic query with the XMLDB API).
Now I want to do the same thing from a servlet, because this is the way I want to use it.
BUT... the same code doesn't even compile !!!

Compile error:
XMLDBQuery.java:40: registerDatabase(org.xmldb.api.base.Database) in org.xmldb.api.DatabaseManager cannot be applied to (Database)
                                DatabaseManager.registerDatabase(db);

I checked the API but all seems OK, tried with JDK1.3 and 1.4, with different versions of servlet.jar, doesn't help.
I have a servlet that does the same thing using XML-RPC and it works.
Attached is the damn servlet.

Have you entered the jars mentioned in developers guide into the webapps
library??

Those jars should be copied  into \web-inf\lib so that the
servlet-containers classloader can find them.
When making servlets this is the same as setting
classpath when using applications.

Most servlet containers also lets you use a library directory into wich
libraries commonly available for all web-apps should be placed.
In jakarta tomcat this is the common\lib folder.
