Greetings I have been successfully using the Ant optional junit task in my builds for some time now. Recently we upgraded Ant to version 1.5.1 and suddenly junit is no longer able to provide XML formatted test results. I've spent around 6 hours RTM'ing, STW'ing, sourcecode-reading and head-scratching to no avail, so I've come here for help.
The Ant logging indicates that the junit task wishes to instantiate a com.sun.xml.parser.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl, but is unable to do so. AFAIK this particular class exists in parser.jar, which is neither distributed with Ant nor recommended in the Library Dependencies section of the Ant manual. Notably another implementation (org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl) is distributed in xercesImpl.jar. I read on the JUnit site that you can force the use of a different implementation by creating/modifying jaxp.properties under the JRE's lib dir. However when I set the property javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory to org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl Ant failed to execute at all. Is the xercesImpl version of the DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl the one I will eventually require? If so, how can I enable Ant to find this version? The exact error seen is: execute-pure-tests: [junit] javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: com.sun.xml.parser.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl [junit] at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(DocumentBuilderFactory. java:75) [junit] at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.XMLJUnitResultFormatter.getDocu mentBuilder(XMLJUnitResultFormatter.java:93) [junit] at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.XMLJUnitResultFormatter.startTe stSuite(XMLJUnitResultFormatter.java:138) [junit] at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTestRunner.fireStartTestSu ite(JUnitTestRunner.java:433) [junit] at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTestRunner.run(JUnitTestRu nner.java:279) [junit] at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTestRunner.main(JUnitTestR unner.java:524) [junit] Exception in thread "main" [junit] TEST com.qsipayments.business.authentication.AuthenticationCounterTest FAILED I hope someone can help shed some light on this for me. Thanks for reading this far. :) Regards Jeremy Mawson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:ant-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:ant-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
