You are right. If I remove xercesImpl.jar from the class path then it works also.
But there is another observation which is weird. Its that if I have my application anywhere on C: drive then it works. It also works if I have it on D:\Program Files\. If I have it on D:\ then it gives this error. What is the reason for this? How does the discovery mechanism works in reference to drives? Regards, Khurram.

Hi, javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError loads a implementation of xml parsers using a J2SE discovery mecanism. This discovery mecanism uses hints provided in .jars META-INF/ folder. Since you exploded your jar of XercesImpl, this JAR does not take part anymore in the discovery mecanism and jvm falls back to the core xml parser provided by tomcat. Behaviours is then same as if you simply removed Xerces jar from your application. You should not provide your own xml parser inside your webapplication, because jvm will always try to use the core parser (with or without success, considering the conflict that can arise with class names depending on classloader used). See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html, "XML Parsers and J2SE 1.4" En l'instant précis du 10/07/07 11:54, kz s'exprimait en ces termes: > Hi, > > Im getting the following error while the starting of Tomcat.
