Hi John
You need to include the stax-api-1.0.jar file in your
classpath. It's in the lib directory of the distribution. You
might also need stax-1.1.2-dev.jar.
Thank you for the feedback. I discovered all of the required
libraries where you pointed me to and have included them. Feeling
somewhat foolish now ...
Don't worry about it. Tracking down class not found exceptions can
sometimes be tricky. If you enter the class name that is causing the
exception (replacing the / chars with a period) into Google that will
almost always lead you to the javadoc page where the class is
described and you can usually find what jar file it came from there.
If you've got a directory full of jar files and you're not sure which
contains the class your looking for (and you're running on a unix
based system) here's a little script you can use to get a list of all
of the classes (run this in the directory containing the jar files.
#!/bin/sh
for name in *.jar
do
echo "jafrfile: " $name >> list
jar tvf $name >> list
done
Then you can edit the file called "list", search for the class name,
then scroll up to find he name of the jar file
There used to be a free service called Jarhoo that has a large
database of java class names but the last time I looked at it, the
site required registration. I wrote something similar to it long
before the web for a proprietary operating system.
That has fixed the javax error.
