Daniel, the exception seems to be indicating that WebShhere 7.0 (again , I have to say) provides a different XML parser with their product, and as such the default one for Castor (Xerces, as included with the JRE/JDK) cannot be found.
You could activate one of the other XML serializers, and see whether you are more lucky. If that doe snot help, either, we could add a new one (should this really, really be required). Have a look at the castor.xml.properties file (as shipped with Castor XML), and at the 'org.exolab.castor.xml.serializer.factory' property in particular: # 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, using the Xerces # instance as shipped with the JRE. # # Even when using Castor XML with Java 5.0 and above, you may still want # to switch to the XercesXMLSerializerFactory, which will use a stand-alone # Xerces instance you will have to downloaded manually. # # Possible values: # - org.exolab.castor.xml.XercesJDK5XMLSerializerFactory (default) # - org.exolab.castor.xml.XercesXMLSerializerFactory # # Sample: # To switch to an externally supplied version of Xerces, set the property # as follows: # <pre> # org.exolab.castor.xml.serializer.factory=org.exolab.castor.xml.XercesXMLSerializerFactory # </pre> org.exolab.castor.xml.serializer.factory=org.exolab.castor.xml.XercesJDK5XMLSerializerFactory Simply override this property in a castor.properties file, and see whether any of the given factories does resolve your problem.
