I am having to rebuild Tomcat 4.0.1 from source (see reason below). My build seems to proceed smoothly till I reach build.xml in tomcat-docs. Error is,
webapps\tomcat-docs\build.xml:80: javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider org.apache.xalan.pro cessor.TransformerFactoryImpl not found Question: Can I abandon this part of the build (since it to do with docs). If yes, then what do I change in the top level build.xml file. ---------------------------------------- Reason for building (a.k.a "my gripe"): ---------------------------------------- For some strange reason, in 4.0.1, in the file org\apache\catalina\realm\JDBCRealm.java, line 549 the code states [under function protected Connection open() ]: dbConnection = driver.connect(connectionURL, props); Whereas under Tomcat 3.0, in file org\apache\tomcat\request\JDBCRealm.java, line 477 (& 479) the call is dbConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL); Why on earth did this call get changed from version 3.0 to version 4.0 remains a mystery. Needless to say it is causing havoc to connectivity when using the JDBC realm. Cheers -raj
