RE: any way to ensure using latest xerces*.jars?

Title: Message

Peter,   I'm still trying to resolve the above problem.  I tried your suggestion, but the deployment machine I'm using is running Java 1.2.2.  Does the endorsed directories system property still function for such an old version?   Thanks, Sean -----Original Message----- From: Smith, Peter (ELSLON) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 6:44 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: any way to ensure using latest xerces*.jars? One possible way is to use the java endorsed directories system property.   ie: -Djava.endorsed.dirs=<directory where your xerces 2.x libs are located>   -----Original Message----- From: Maksym Kovalenko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 November 2003 14:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: any way to ensure using latest xerces*.jars? Easiest way to find out what version is actually on your classpath is to invoke one of the methods on org.apache.xerces.impl.Version At least you can check and throw errors for old versions.

I suspect that my servlet is picking up old parser implementations before the Xerces 2.5.0 in the classpath. Is there any way to "force" an app. to use a specific version of Xerces or otherwise ensure it's only using code from the latest libs?
