--------------------------------------
Hi Tim,
Sorry for the delay in response
The bundling of both *xerces* (org/xml package) and *DOM* (org/w3c package)
seems to be the cause of the issue
Initially, I validated this in Java 8 and 11 because we were planning to move
our server's Java version from 8 to 11
Now I can confirm these mentioned packages are bundled in Java 17 and 21
If these packages are planned to be removed in Tika 3.x, may I know the
tentative date for the release?
If this might take some, can you please let me know if any patch can be given
from your end ?
Thanks in advance
> Conflict with duplicate org/w3c and org/xml packages in tika-app jar
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-4130
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-4130
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.7.0
> Environment: Java 8 and Java 11
> Reporter: RaahulUmapathy
> Priority: Major
>
> While attempting to migrate from version 1.20 to version 2.7 of Apache Tika,
> I encountered a specific error.
> We have been using a "child-first classloader" to isolate the tika-app JAR
> from the classpath for file parsing.
> {+}The error message we're facing is as follows{+}:
> java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: when resolving
> overridden method
> "org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.newDocument()Lorg/w3c/dom/Document;"
> the class loader (instance of org/xeustechnologies/jcl/JarClassLoader) of
> the current class, org/apache/xerces/jaxp/DocumentBuilderImpl, and its
> superclass loader (instance of <bootloader>), have different Class objects
> for the type org/w3c/dom/Document used in the signature.
> Upon analysis, I can see that a conflict exists between the default
> classloader (rt.jar) and our child-first classloader due to different
> versions of the class "Node.class" (org/w3c package) in both jars. Similar
> issues were encountered with the classes in "org/xml" package too.
> {+}The parsing functionality worked correctly after removing the following
> packages from the tika-app JAR{+}:
> 1. org/w3c/**
> 2. org/xml/**
> We are currently using Java 8 and would greatly appreciate guidance on the
> same.
