Hi Benson, by default Castor searches for Xerces serializer as it is contained in xerces.jar. As you are on Java 5 you can change this behaviour through castor.properties file so Castor uses Xerces implementation included in Java 5. The problem is that they changed package names when they integrated Xerces into Java 5.
# Defines the (default) XML serializer factory to use by Castor, which # must implement org.exolab.castor.xml.SerializerFactory; default is # org.exolab.castor.xml.XercesXMLSerializerFactory # # When using Castor XML with JDK 5.0, you may switch to the # XercesJDK5XMLSerializerFactory which will use the Xerces instance as # shipped with the JDK itself; this avoids having to download another # Xerces instance and installing it. org.exolab.castor.xml.serializer.factory=org.exolab.castor.xml.XercesXMLSerializerFactory #org.exolab.castor.xml.serializer.factory=org.exolab.castor.xml.XercesJDK5XMLSerializerFactory Regards Ralf Benson Margulies schrieb: > Which of the dependencies on > http://www.castor.org/dependencies.html#Castor-XML is at issue here?
