RE: [JBoss-user] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document root element is missing

[Filip Hanik]

looks like you have crimson.jar in your classpath and this may conflict with some other JAXP implementation (Xerces, jaxp.jar, parser.jar)   Filip   ~ Namaste - I bow to the divine in you ~ Filip Hanik Software Architect [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.filip.net -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jason Durst Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2001 3:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JBoss-user] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document root element is missing I am new to JBOSS and EJB's in general. I have created several beans and "jarr'ed" them along with the corresponding home interfaces, remote interfaces and the deployment descriptor. When I drop my jar file in the deploy folder, this is the error I get. I would appreciate it if anyone could give me a clue as to what the error is referring to with: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document root element is missing. If additional information is necessary I would be glad to provide it. Thank you in advance for your help.   I suspect that the problem is with my ejb-jar.xml file but I cannot find a reference to this error.   jason   the error message continues but I thought that this was the relevant part.   [J2EE Deployer Default] Starting [J2EE Deployer Default] Cleaning up deployment directory [J2EE Deployer Default] Started [Auto deploy] Starting [Auto deploy] Watching E:\jboss-tomcat-2.2\jboss-2.2\deploy [Auto deploy] Auto deploy of file:/E:/jboss-tomcat-2.2/jboss-2.2/deploy/musicdb.jar [J2EE Deployer Default] Deploy J2EE application: file:/E:/jboss-tomcat-2.2/jboss-2.2/deploy/musicdb.jar [J2EE Deployer Default] Create application musicdb.jar [J2EE Deployer Default] install module musicdb.jar [Container factory] Deploying:file:/E:/jboss-tomcat-2.2/jboss-2.2/tmp/deploy/Default/musicdb.jar [Container factory] Document root element is missing.:-1:1 [Container factory] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document root element is missing.
