Hi Shawn, I'd recommend installing the full non-RPM version that includes all necessary jars. In that version, you will see the following files in common/endorsed:
xercesImpl.jar xmlParserAPIs.jar What Bill says it correct, though. The Xerces version that come with Tomcat causes problems with Struts apps because of an XML parsing bug in Xerces which was recently fixed. You can either do as he says and go back to using 2.1.0 version or move to the latest jars which contain the fix: http://gump.covalent.net/jars/latest/xml-xerces2/ Otherwise, you could also check the xml commons to grab a xml-commons-api's jar that contains an earlier version of the xerces packages equivalent to the 2.1.0 release. http://xml.apache.org/commons/ Jake Tuesday, November 26, 2002, 10:05:27 AM, you wrote: SW> Hi Bill, SW> Thanks for the info.
