Thanks for the response. However, that does not clarify for me why it only happens when I attempt to set the <load-on-startup> element in the webapps web.xml file but if I do not autoload the class, it works just fine. As far as the JAVA_OPTS go, I do not see where I have this set at all. I'm running Apache Tomcat 5.5.23 as a windows service. In the properties under Java, I am setting these options:
-Dcatalina.home=C:\Apache\Tomcat -Dcatalina.base=C:\Apache\Tomcat -Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Apache\Tomcat\common\endorsed -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Apache\Tomcat\temp -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Apache\Tomcat\conf\logging.properties Thanks, Tony -----Original Message----- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 12:18 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Class loading issue > From: Tony Fountain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Class loading issue > > Caused by: javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider > org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl not found It looks like you must have the system property javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory set to point to org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl (e.g., via JAVA_OPTS). This forces all XML scanning to go through that class, including any done by Tomcat itself. Consequently, the above class must be made visible to the Tomcat internal classes, so putting the jar into common/lib is required. I'm not sure if there's any means of specifying a webapp-local XML parser rather than a global one; others may have more experience here. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
