I know I'm ignorant in some areas of this problem, so please forgive me if I don't explain it well or if I'm missing something obvious!
PROBLEM: Tomcat won't startup (via Eclipse plugin) when Apache's commons-digester.jar is included as a project lib. QUESTION: How can I use the Digester in my project with Tomcat? SEE ALSO (appear to reference the same problem): http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg45756.html http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=c09cb3fc.0307290659.57359042%40posting. google.com http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02848.html I've narrowed it down to this being the source of the problem. It looks like it has something to do with ClassLoaders or something, but I don't know much about that. I'm confused. It's a problem that others have apparently encountered. A patch to Catalina may solve the problem, but I haven't seen any posts or messages detailing a work-around. Is there a work-around I can use _NOW_ to make my project work in Tomcat? Thanks! Matt Kruse PS: This is the error I get when including Digester in the dependencies and trying to start Tomcat: 2003-09-22 10:22:29,962 0 [main] DEBUG org.apache.commons.digester.Digester - addRuleSet() with no namespace URI 2003-09-22 10:22:29,978 16 [main] DEBUG org.apache.commons.digester.Digester -
