Xerces ClassNotFound Problem in 4.0.1

["Dr. Edward R. Jones" <ej...@falcon.tamucc.edu>]

Hi, I've looked high and low for documentation on dynamic class loading 
for tomcat 4.0.1.  Can't seem to find an answer to this problem.  I'm 
trying to use Xerces-J 2.0.1 parser in a class using the tomcat.

I receive the following message:

Preparing to create XML Reader using Xerces Parser
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org/apache/xerces/parsers/SAXParser
	at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
	at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:130)
	at org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(Unknown 
Source)
	at ValidatorService.validate(ValidatorService.java:60)

etc...

This came from the following java statement:

XMLReader reader = 
XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");

Yes, I have the xerces.jar file in common/lib and the tomcat classpath.  I 
also tried placing the jar file in the /lib directory for the servlet and 
in the /classes directory itself.  Nothing has seemed to work..

Can anyone give me a clue on this ?

Much thanks - edwardJones
