All, I'd appreciate a response on this otherwise I'll just have to assume that TomCat allows only xerces.jar as a parser. The "jsp errors" I mention relate to the default servlet for jsp. I tried commenting out (in conf/web.xml) all references to this servlet - it just created more errors! The docs give the impression that it's a "simple" case of moving xerces.jar and putting your own parser in /WEB-INF/lib, but this just doesn't work.
Thanks, John -----Original Message----- From: John Wadkin Sent: 09 March 2002 03:04 To: Tomcat Users List (E-mail) Subject: Problems using own XML parser All, Tomcat 4.0.1 Apache 1.3 mod_WebApp Solaris 8 I'm trying to use the aelfred parser in a servlet. I've read the docs on class loaders and XML but no luck so far. I moved xerces.jar from common/lib to server/lib and re-started TomCat. A couple of errors appeared in catalina.out relating to the default servlet for jsp's. So I put xerces.jar back in common/lib. I put the aelfred.jar in my web app's WEB-INF/lib directory and re-started TomCat. I expected errors relating to the fact that two XML parsers existed - there weren't any. The logs show that aelfred.jar has loaded but the servlet throws a ClassNotFoundException. Any ideas? The servlet does work with Aelfred at another site and it works fine with the xerces parser in common/lib. The reason I'm trying to use Aelfred is that I'm told it's faster than Xerces. Is this a fair comment? Thanks, John -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
