I just installed the latest Tomcat (4.0.2), (on W2K Pro) deployed the latest xtags-examples.war, and a NoClassDefFound exception is thrown whenever I access a page with a <xtags:style ...> tag like this one:
<html> <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/xtags-1.0"; prefix="xtags" %> <xtags:style xml="/style/test.xml" xsl="/style/article-html.xsl"/> </html> Here is the exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/transform/URIResolver at java.lang.Class.getMethods0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods(Class.java:1039) at java.beans.Introspector$1.run(Introspector.java:852) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.beans.Introspector.getPublicDeclaredMethods(Introspector.java:850) at java.beans.Introspector.getTargetEventInfo(Introspector.java:556) at java.beans.Introspector.getBeanInfo(Introspector.java:294) at java.beans.Introspector.getBeanInfo(Introspector.java:81) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagCache.setTagHandlerClass(TagCache.java:116) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagBeginGenerator.init(TagBeginGenerator.java:146 ) : at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) It seems to be an issue with the classloader not being able to fine JAXP 1.1 jar. When we drop jaxp.jar in %TOMCAT_HOME%\common\lib everything starts working again. However, this was _not_ necessary under Tomcat 4.0.1, so I am wondering what has changed, and if there is a better solution. Perhaps that is a question for the Tomcat developers, but I was hoping that someone out there is also trying to use xtags on Tomcat 4.0.2 and may know what's happening. Thanks.
