Xindice.war- xerces?

[Matthew Van Horn <ho...@accesstech.com>]

I copied my Xindice.war file from one machine to another, and I am 
getting an error during deployment.
The error is javax.servlet.ServletException: XML-RPC support requires 
Xerces.
Root cause is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: SAX driver not found: 
org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser

The things is, I looked, and the lib secion of the web app has 
xercesImpl-2.1.0.jar, and that jar has a 
org/apache/xerces/parsers/SAXParser.class

Any ideas for me? Do I need xerces somewhere else in my class path?

Thanks for your help.

If you are using JDK1.4, then I think this is the way to go. But if you 
want you can also drop Xerces and use the Crimson parser (the XML parser 
contained in the JDK1.4).
I think this topic is also discussed in more detail elsewhere. Try to 
search the web for something like "jdk 1.4 xml parser endorsed"

I think this is it - I copied the lib files to the java ext directory 
(quick & dirty, I know) and it seems to work.) I guess JBoss/Tomcat is 
loading the ParserFactory first.

If this is in fact the case, what is the proper solution, versus my 
very crude but somewhat effective one?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Matthew,
this could be a classloader problem. The problem "could" occur if you 
use a ParserFactory which is loaded by a classloader before your webapp 
(e.g. JDK1.4, or some libs from tomcats common directory). Then it's the 
responsibility of the classloader that loaded the Factory class to load 
the desired Implementation class. This classloader doesn't see any of 
your webapp libs => ClassNotFound.
