i have the same problem solved by the following instruction from geof
howard
Copy xalan*.jar, xerces*.jar and xml-apis.jar from WEB-INF\lib
(or from lib\core in cvs) to %TOMCAT_HOME%\common\endorsed
The docs at one point only mentioned %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\endorsed
but later tomcat versions use
That's the error you get when there's a problem with the endorsed xml jars
in jdk 1.4. If this is a fresh install, you need to go read the
instructions for jdk1.4 (if you're using tomcat, you need to be aware that
it overrides the default endorsed directory and the jars need to go in
Thanks for the info. Anyhow, I had the java/jre/lib/endorsed with some older
xml jars, erased those, and then created the TOMCAT_HOME/common/endorsed as you
suggested, copied over the xml jar files (xalan-2.4.1.jar xercesImpl-2.1.0.jar
xml-apis.jar xsltc.jar) from
