As someone previously pointed out, the CLASSPATH environment variable is
ignored when using the -jar option to start a java program. So that might be
your problem id you are starting your server that way.
Also, I know JRun (2.3.x) ignores the classpath env variable; you are
required to set it in a properties file. Maybe it's the same for your
server.
Also, I have found that, since JAXP is implemented in later versions of
xerces I have been able to overwrite the orion supplied xerces.jar file with
a later one and delete the parser.jar file without a problem. If anyone
knows why this might be a bad idea, please let me know.

Subject: Colombo Java mystery -- the case of the unrecognized Parser jar
Here is a Colombo mystery I am wrestling with, called the case of the
unrecognized Parser jar. See if anyone has any insights.
1. On windows 2000, I get this message when running Resin or Tomcat (Since
their lists don't know, I would see if any Orion experts could answer).
(http://localhost:8080/JSP page entry)
Error: 500 Internal Servlet Error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: org/xml/sax/EntityResolver
2. If I look at my classpath, I have Parser.jar in it.
CLASSPATH=.;d:\javaprograms\javasource;c:\jdk1.3\lib\mail.jar;c:\jdk1.3\lib\
acti
vation.jar;D:\javajdbcs\jdbc1\mm.mysql.jdbc-1.2c;C:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar;D:\

ar;C
:\j2sdkee1.2.1\lib\j2ee.jar;d:\javaservletproducts\orionapp\classes
3. If I examine the Parser.jar command with jar tf Parser.jar, then this is
part of my jar file:
org/xml/sax/EntityResolver.class
So if the Java Columbo were looking at this case, what wisdom would they add
that I am missing?
