After responding to Chris' issue in Tuscany-1925, it occurred to me that this will be an ongoing problem for folks trying to use Sun 1.4 JVMs. Looking back over the dev list history, I see a couple of other times where this has been a problem. Perhaps, we might want to add this to the faq, what do you think?
Here's a first stab at the FAQ entry: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why am I getting an exception when using Apache Tuscany's java SDO implementation in a Sun JDK 1.4? The Crimson DOM implementation in (some versions of) the Sun JDK 1.4 has a bug in the implementation of hasAttributeNS. This bug can be seen, when loading or importing a model from XML Schema, as either: * a null pointer exception, or * the error message "Specify a valid XML Schema and try loading again". To avoid this problem use the IBM JDK 1.4 or either Sun or IBM 5.0 JDK. Another alternative is to add the Xerces or XML4J jar files to your classpath. These libraries can be found here: * XML4J: http://alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xml4j * Xerces2-J: http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/download.cgi If you are experiencing this problem from within the Eclipse development environment, you will need to modify your Eclipse classpath. This can be achieved when starting Eclipse using the following command: <eclipse-install-dir>eclipse.exe -vmargs -Djava.endorsed.dirs=<path-to-your-xerces-jars-folder> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
