bug with xerces 1.3.1

[Shane Dempsey <sd...@tssg.wit.ie>]

Hi Guys,
I was  having some trouble with my Apache Soap installation.
I'd set up Apache Soap 2.1 with Tomcat 3.2. I could start the 'SOAP admin
gui' OK but when I try to run any of the demos I got the following error.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

D:\javadev\ApacheSoap\soap-2_1\samples\stockquote>java

( my machine name is high, just in case anyone is wondering >:-) )

I followed all the instructions and my classpath seems to be OK , with the
xerces.jar places towards the front of the path..
I'm not sure why I'm getting this error. I originally thought that it was
the classpath but
after many changes, I just gave up on that. It almost seems like the SOAP
messages being produced by the client aren't  correct.

The problem was solved when I installed the xerces 1.2.3 parser instead of
1.3.1
Hopefully this will sort out somebody else's problems cos I spent ages
trying to figure out what the problem was.

regards ,
