I am using the latest and greatest.
It is not that the code used Class.forName(), but the code uses the
digester.getClassLoader().loadClass() that does *not* find the class.
Switching to Class.forName() *works*.
I made the changes in:
ObjectCreateRule.java
SetNextRule.java
In addition, I had to change the FromXmlRuleSet:
1. Add beginning slash:
public static final String DIGESTER_DTD_PATH =
"/org/apache/commons/digester/xmlrules/digester-rules.dtd"
2. ln 153: URL dtdURL = getClass().getResource(DIGESTER_DTD_PATH);
I have consistently seen the DTD issue (#2) in the tomcat 4.x
environments (which we understand has classloading issues), now I see
running in a forked process from ANT (with newenvironment="true"). I
have always had to make my own builds.
Why the need to obtain the classloader and load classes in this manner?
If tomcat and ant have this issue (possibly bad software), shouldn't we
find a better way to workaround this? At least a better message than a
NullPointerException with no stack....
I can provide a diff if your interested. I'm not sure of the answer, I
guess it hinges on the answer to my question of why it is done this way.

Which version of Digester are you using? There is only one occurrence
of
"Class.forName()" in the current code base (i.e. the version 1.4 that
was
just released), in DigesterRuleParser. Everything else (correctly) uses
digester.getClassLoader().loadClas().
Could you please try this with the latest and greatest Digester release?
