Hi, On running a nb module, I get a ClassCastException with the following stack trace:
java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.xml.stream.ZephyrParserFactory cannot be cast to javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory at javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory.newInstance ( XMLInputFactory.java:136) at org.apache.ddlutils.io.DatabaseIO.getXMLInputFactory( DatabaseIO.java:240) at org.apache.ddlutils.io.DatabaseIO.read(DatabaseIO.java:207) at org.apache.ddlutils.io.DatabaseIO.read (DatabaseIO.java:171) at org.netbeans.newddlmod.newdbTopComponent.jButton1MouseClicked( newdbTopComponent.java:72) at org.netbeans.newddlmod.newdbTopComponent.access$000( newdbTopComponent.java :19) at org.netbeans.newddlmod.newdbTopComponent$1.mouseClicked( newdbTopComponent.java:46) at java.awt.AWTEventMulticaster.mouseClicked( AWTEventMulticaster.java:253) at java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent (Component.java:6041) at javax.swing.JComponent.processMouseEvent(JComponent.java:3260) at java.awt.Component.processEvent(Component.java:5803) at java.awt.Container.processEvent(Container.java :2058) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Component.java:4410) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:2116) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java:4240) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.retargetMouseEvent(Container.java :4322) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.processMouseEvent(Container.java :3995) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.dispatchEvent (Container.java :3916) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:2102) at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Window.java:2429) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java :4240) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:599) [catch] at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters( EventDispatchThread.java:273) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter ( EventDispatchThread.java:183) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy( EventDispatchThread.java:173) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java :168) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java :160) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:121) My module has the following dependencies: -commons beanutils -commons codec -commons collections -commons dbcp -commons digester -commons lang -commons loggings -commons pool -dom4j 1.4 -jakarta oro 2.0.8 -log4j 1.2.8 -stax api 1.0.1 -wstx asl 3.0.2 -derby client -ant -xercesImp What i know about this issue is that if classloader A loads Class X and Classloader B loads classY, then even if Y is assignable to X at the source code level, it fails, because the classes are in different *classloaders*. so although the ZephyrParserFactory is an implementation of the XMLInputFactory they are both loaded from different class loaders (perhaps the ZephyrParserFactory is bundled with a separate StAX API JAR). If two identical classes are loaded from different class loaders they are NOT the same class, so it will cause a class cast exception. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem Thanks Wessam
