hello all I want to use SAXON XML parser in my WEB app. I put saxon.jar and saxon-jdom.jar in web-inf/lib of my web app. Now Tomcat doesnt work at all, it throws at startup:
[ERROR] Digester - -Digester.getParser: <javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException: AElfred parser is non-validating> javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException: AElfred parser is non-validating It seems that Tomcat tries to SAXON as default XML parser. I tried to move Xerces and jaxp jar's from common/endorsed to /server/lib, it didnt work, ClassCastException was thrown, it seems because of duplicated classes loaded by saxon.jar and xmlParserAPIs.jar. (classes are different but with the same name ) I was very upset, because I have read in Tomcat docs: "Common - This class loader contains additional classes that are made visible to both Tomcat internal classes and to all web applications. xerces.jar - The XML parser that is visible by default to Tomcat internal classes and to web applications. This can be overridden, for a particular web application, by including your desired parser in /WEB-INF/lib. " I use Tomcat 4.1.18 and jdk 1.3.1.
