Help with Jakarta/Tomcat - running TagLib example

[Glenn Wilson]

I have been able to get Tomcat to come up and run all of the Servlet and JSP examples except, the taglib example!   Each time I try and run the taglib example I get: Error: 500 try to access class com/sun/xml/tree/ParentNode from class org/apache/jasper/compiler/TagLibraryInfoImpl   at the browser.   The console reports:   Unhandled error! You might want to consider having an error page to report such errors more graceful ly java.lang.IllegalAccessError: try to access class com/sun/xml/tree/ParentNode from class org/apache/ jasper/compiler/TagLibraryInfoImpl         at org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspParseEventListener.handleDirective(JspParseEventListener.java, Compiled Code)         at org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspParseEventListener.handleDirective(JspParseEventListener.java, Compiled Code)         at org.apache.jasper.compiler.DelegatingListener.handleDirective(DelegatingListener.java:110)         at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser$Directive.accept(Parser.java, Compiled Code)         at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parse(Parser.java, Compiled Code)         at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parse(Parser.java:959)         at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parse(Parser.java:955)         at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java, Compiled Code)         at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspLoader.loadJSP(JspLoader.java:226)         at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.loadIfNecessary(JspServlet.java:137)         at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service(JspServlet.java:148)         at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:247)         at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java, Compiled Code)         at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:865)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServiceInvocationHandler.method(ServletWrapper.java:626)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.handleInvocation(ServletWrapper.java, Compiled Code)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.handleRequest(ServletWrapper.java:378)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.Context.handleRequest(Context.java:644)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:440)         at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpConnectionHandler.java:144)         at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpConnectionThread.run(TcpEndpoint.java:304)         at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:479)   Can anyone help? I would like to start development of some tags but I need to get past this first.     --------------------------------------------- Glenn Wilson Director of Software Development XOL Corp. http://www.xol.com
