Hello Tomcat Users, I am having a problem with xerces and other jars in the JDK or Tomcat conflicting with jars in my app. I am getting the following exception when instantiating Smooks, a csv library that usese xerces, in a web app running in Tomcat:
java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Class org.jaxen.JaxenHandler does not implement the requested interface org.jaxen.saxpath.XPathHandler I found something in the Tomcat docs and at Oracle about "Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism". http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html So I followed the directions and placed the jaxen-1.1.1.jar in the Tomcat endorsed directory. I ran the app again and got a diferent exception: org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.DVFactoryException: DTD factory class org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.dtd.DTDDVFactoryImpl does not extend from DTDDVFactory. I then placed xercesImpl-2.6.2.jar in the Tomcat endorsed directory. I ran the app again and got a diferent exception: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaLoader.loadGrammar([Lorg/apache/xerces/xni/parser/XMLInputSource;)V This makes me think I am on the right track and the exceptions I am getting seem to point to the wrong classes being loaded. My question is, is their a set of XML related jars that I should take out of my app and place in this endorsed directory or is there a different way of fixing this problem ?
