I've encountered a strange problem with my JSPs in Tomcat. Whenever I change one of them, then try to access it from the browser, I get the following error:
HTTP Status 500 - type Exception report message description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception javax.servlet.ServletException: Provider org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl could not be instantiated: java.lang.NullPointerException org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:249) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) root cause javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl could not be instantiated: java.lang.NullPointerException javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.newInstance(Unknown Source) org.apache.taglibs.standard.tlv.JstlBaseTLV.validate(JstlBaseTLV.java:152) org.apache.taglibs.standard.tlv.JstlCoreTLV.validate(JstlCoreTLV.java:96) org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.validate(TagLibraryInfoImpl.java:750) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Validator.validateXmlView(Validator.java:1527) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Validator.validate(Validator.java:1495) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateJava(Compiler.java:157) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:286) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:267) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:255) org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.java:556) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:293) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:291) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:241) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5.9 logs. I don't have the foggiest idea what that means, but when I stop and restart Tomcat, everything usually works fine (until the next time I change the file.) I'd send relevant source code, but it seems to happen with every page in multiple applications. I've posted this in several forums and have yet to even get a reply. This is driving me batty! Any ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
