Better XML diagnostics needed

If I make a mistake in rpository.xml, only too common I'm afraid, all I get out is a complex stack dump with somewhere buried in it a message saying 'unable to read repostiory.xml'. There is no indication of what the error is nor where it is. Please can we have a more helpful xml parser?

Invalid column SQLException

I'm sure this query has come up recently and that it has a simple answer,but I did not save the message and I can't find it in the archive. I am doing some basic tests on PB just to ensure that I understand how things work. The environment is rc5 with Oracle9i. Here is the output:

I have two problems. the first is simple:

Re: Newbie (almost) at a standstill

A status report on my problems. I went back to square one and managed to get things to work. However, in the process I found some glitches. Maybe they are finger trouble on my part, maybe they are omissions in the code or the documentation. 1.The variable ${jcdAlias} is used in

Re: Newbie at a standstill

I have done the 'ant build' and it makes no difference. If in the db.open() I change to the default db alias the system appears not to see my parameters at all. It has username and password set to null. There is clearly something terribly obvious that I am just not understanding about setting up

Re: Newbie at a standstill

Thank you for your help. I will try your suggestions. I did read all the docs I could find, but did not find them terribly clear. My life is made more difficult by doing this job under Windows and not Unix - it is a matter of where I have Oracle client libraries installed and also have GUI-based

Newbie at a standstill

I am trying to get OJB working and am getting absolutely nowhere, so I appeal to the list for some help. The environment is OJB rc5, Eclipse IDE, Sun JDK1.4.2, Oracle 9, NT4.0. The running of the code is controlled by JUnit. I can connect to the DB both with sqlplus and jdbc. I cannot actually
