I am trying to build a web (myfaces) application that uses a proprietary API called Documentum Foundation Classes. (DFC) DFC uses a "patched" version of Xalan that is provided with the API. Unfortunately it does not seem to work with Tomcat 5.x, only Tomcat 4.x I get the following error message: ---- java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Native MethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(De legatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:287) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:425)
Caused by: javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider com.documentum.xerces_2_3_0.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl not found at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstan ce(DocumentBuilderFactory.java:99) at org.apache.commons.modeler.util.DomUtil.readXml(DomUtil.java:284) ---- com.documentum.xerces_2_3_0.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl is in my class path (it is inside dfc.jar) but it is still not being found. This may have something to do with the "patched" version of Xalan provided with the API or some incompatibility between versions of Xerces/Xalan supplied with Tomcat 4 and Tomcat 5 . I don't expect anyone to tell me how to fix a proprietary API, when they don't have access to the source but if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for how I should go about debugging this problem please let me know. I would really appreciate it. Thanks, -Mark
