Hi there, I was reading an unrelated article on this but its possible that just setting your CLASSPATH doesn't really pick up your new xerces parser. Fire up tomcat with this flag
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=$CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed (make sure to put the new JAR files in that directory).. check out http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader- howto.html and scroll down to the section XML Parsers and JDK 1.4 towards the bottom. Hope that helps Jan-Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keshava Murthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, January 2, 2003 8:24 pm Subject: Re: Parse error in application web.xml > Hi Jason, > > I downloaded latest jar files and included them in my classpat I > am still > getting the same exception > > regards, > keshav > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Bowsher, Jason P" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "'Tomcat Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 6:32 PM > Subject: RE: Parse error in application web.xml > > > > I had a very similar problem (although not eactly the same).
