Has anyone run into this error java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(DocumentBuilderFactory.java:147) at org.apache.soap.util.xml.XMLParserUtils.refreshDocumentBuilderFactory(XMLParserUtils.java:112) at org.apache.soap.util.xml.XMLParserUtils.<clinit>(XMLParserUtils.java:79) at org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManager.<init>(ServiceManager.java:83) at org.apache.soap.server.http.ServerHTTPUtils.getServiceManagerFromContext(ServerHTTPUtils.java:103) at org.apache.soap.server.http.RPCRouterServlet.doPost(RPCRouterServlet.java:212) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:760) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:254) it goes on. I get this error when I run testit.sh in the addressbook sample. I am using soap 2.2 in tomcat 4.0. I had xerces 2.0alpha as the first thing in the tomcat classpath. It show up first in the classpath that tomcat prints out that it is using on startup. I tried switching back to xerces 1.4.2 and I still get the same error, The server is working I get the approiate message when I go to localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter and I can get to the admin page. Any ideas. Rich Catlett
