This isn't answering your question as you posed it, but aren't xml-api.jar and XMLParserAPI.jar from different versions of Xerces? Xalan 2.4.D1 comes with Xerces 2.0.1 (xercesImpl.jar and xml-api.jar). To use Xerces 2.0.2, aren't you suppose to delete those files and replace them with those from the Xerces distribution (xercesImpl.jar and XMLParserAPI.jar)?
Maybe you are having a class loading issue because you are mixing your versions. Just a thought. - Andrew -----Original Message----- From: stephen chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 9:05 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: Class loader problem with Xalan under 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 Class loader problem with Xalan under 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 Hi, I have: jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2 / jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3 Xerces-J-bin.2.0.2 xalan-j_2_4_D1-bin.tar.gz jdom sun jdk jdk1.3.1 on a linux box. According to Tomcat documentation, class loading is done in the following order: /WEB-INF/classes of your web application /WEB-INF/lib/*.jar of your web application Bootstrap classes of your JVM System class loader classses $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/*.jar $CATALINA_HOME/classes $CATALINA_HOME/lib/*.jar In my /WEB-INF/lib/ directory, I have all the xerces, xalan and jdom jar files: BCEL.jar JLex.jar bsf.jar java_cup.jar jdom.jar regexp.jar runtime.jar xalan.jar xalansamples.jar xalanservlet.jar xercesImpl.jar xercesSamples.jar xml-apis.jar xmlParserAPIs.jar xsltc.jar When I run my servlet from /WEB-INF/classes, I get this: root cause java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/transform/TransformerException This means Tomcat can't find the xalan lib. *** Tomcat can find xerces and jdom libs *** At this point, I decided to do some testing on other versions of Tomcat and here are the results. Tomcat xalan lib in /WEB-INF/lib/ ------ -------------------------- 3.3.1 OK 4.0.2 NOT OK 4.0.3 NOT OK 4.0.4 OK The only way to make 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 aware of xalan libs is to have the xalan jar files in "Bootstrap classes of my JVM" which is in /usr/local/jdk1.3.1_02/jre/lib/ext. But having the libs in this directory can effect other applications within the same container. How do I make my Tomcat 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 use the xalan lib in my /WEB-INF/lib/ directory? Is this a Tomcat config problem or a Xalan config problem?
