Re: ExceptionInIntializerError using jdk1.5alpha

[Markku Saarela]

Hi,

It seems to me that problem is in Xalan 2.5.2 class 
org.apache.xml.serializer.Encodings.
There  in method:  private static EncodingInfo[] loadEncodingInfo()
how it reads properties from file Encodings.properties is not working 
with jdk1.5.0 anymore.

In this Encodings.properties file's last line is:  # can be found at 
http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets

Quote from code:
               // Seems to be no real need to force failure here, let the
               // system do its best... The issue is not really very 
critical,
               // and the output will be in any case _correct_ though 
maybe not
               // always human-friendly... :)
               // But maybe report/log the resource problem?
               // Any standard ways to report/log errors (in static 
context)?

So workaround add JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\endorsed directory and add there 
latest xalan.jar and delete this Encodings.properties file from the
xalan.jar then it works.

Did you put the latest xalan-2.5.2.jar in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed?  If
   

 

not, you should do that since the JDK comes with an old buggy version of
   

 

Xalan....although they might have updated it for JDK1.5.  Still, can't
   

 

hurt
   

 

to have the latest and greatest in the endorsed directory.

This is with ant 1.6.0



 Any other suggestions? Is this a problem for xalan, and is there a mailing
list to mention it to them.
