Hi,
Looks like there's may be another copy of the Jaxp classes somewhere in the
classpath..Please try the following:
1. Use the startup scripts that come with tomcat 4.0.1. These unset the CLASSPATH
environment variables and crete custom variables for
Tomcat's startup.
2.Check to see if you're having any older Xerces or (Crimson+Jaxp) jars files in
$JAVA_HOME/lib/ext
3. Remove all instances of the files xerces.jar, parser.jar, crimson.jar and jaxp.jar
from where ever you have placed them in the $CATALINA_HOME
sub directories.
Having done that, place a copy of xerces.jar in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
The xerces.jar file that comes with tomcat 4.0.1 is 1.72 MB in size (1,808,883
bytes)
4. Just a question, is your app also bundling Xerces/crimson ? Look for the jars in
the WIB-INF/lib sub-directory.
