Dear List, xmlParserAPIs.jar and xercesImpl.jar (version 2) libs are supplied in the %CATALINA_HOME%/common/endorsed path. This path allows Tomcat to load a parser (or any other none jcp library) and override the default jar bundled with the JDK 1.4 release.
a)The SUN JDK 1.4 release contains a version of Xerces. When I remove the xmlParserAPIs.jar and xercesImpl.jar located in the %CATALINA_HOME%/common/endorsed path, then Tomcat can not read the web and server.xml. Is this because the version of xerces bundled with the JDK 1.4 is an older version, or is this a class-path configuration error on my machine? I would expect the JDK to contain xerces v2 like that supplied with Tomcat 4.1.x. b) The following code works on new Tomcat 4.1.* test installations, but NOT always. How can I garantee that the parser xerces supplied with Tomcat 4.1.* is always loaded. documentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); regards Ben Bookey --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
