Hi, back again, i sent my last email without writing what standard out prints. Here it is:
Starting service Tomcat-Standalone Apache Tomcat/4.1.10 Sorry for re posting. -t0bes -----Original Message----- From: Toby Saville Sent: Monday, 23 September 2002 12:06 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: XML Parsing in Servlet Hi, Im not sure if this is the correct place to post this type of message but ill try anyways. Im trying to parse an XML file in a servlet's init(Servlet config) method on a tomcat4.1 server. I am using a xerces SAX parser. The servlet has a load-on-startup tag in web.xml with a value of 1. When i attempt to parse the file in the init method, the loading of the web server stops. The standard output prints up to: The log file outputs up to "starting filters", but nothing else. i pass a URI compliant string to the parser which looks like this: file:///d:/Projects/portfolio/webapps/xml/metadata.xml I can create a File object using this URI and look at its details in the init method, but as soon as i say parser.parse(fileURI, handler); the loading of tomcat stops. Any ideas why this could be? Thanks -Tobes *************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential information.
