org.xml.sax.Attributes: method getQName(I)Ljava/lang/String; not found

[Lee, James]

Hi All,

I am new to FOP and trying to run the simple FopServlet in WebSphere
Application Server 3.5.  I can compile the FopServlet no problem and
copy all the lib jar files like fop.jar; xerces-1.2.3.jar;
xalan-2.0.0.jar; xalanj1compat.jar; avalon-framework-4.0.jar;
logkit-1.0.jar; bsf.jar into the server lib directory.   When I try to
access the servlet through the browser, I got an empty page and
exception logged like:

 java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.xml.sax.Attributes: method
getQName(I)Ljava/lang/String; not found

It looks like server can not see the lib jar files but all the jar files
are in there.

Any suggestions what could be go wrong?

Thanks for you help.

Websphere 3.x has some really ancient XML libraries in the
static classpath for the webapp. You'll have to put your
favorite XML toolset (Xalan/Xerxes) in the static classpath
explicitely. Look here

some yeah, yeah, upgrade to 4.x comment.
