Hi Chris, This version of Jena comes with Xerces-J 2.6.1, it is installed in webapp's WEB-INF/classes/plugins/lib-xml, will this location present any issue or should I copy it to WEB-INF/lib?
I tried to remove xercesImpl.jar from the lib-xml folder restart Tomcat but I am still encountering the same sever error. In regards to your second comment, are you stating that the servlet spec will not interefere with the webapp, so my app deployment should run ok? thanks ________________________________________ From: Christopher Schultz [ch...@christopherschultz.net] Sent: 18 December 2010 19:57 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: HTTP Status 500 - Server Internal Error -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Lewis, On 12/18/2010 2:47 PM, McGibbney, Lewis John wrote: > I am currently using Apache Nutch 1.2 and Tomcat 6.0.26 (first post on list).

Tomcat 6.0.26 does not ship with a Xerces library: it uses whatever XML parser is provided by the JDK. If Jena requires an XML library, you should have that library installed in the webapp's WEB-INF/lib directory. > I understand that previously I could > replace the parser to match in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib, however I > learned when running on JSE 5 the class loader delegation process > will default to the implementation inside the JDK. This ClassLoader delegation process is specified by the servlet spec, and I think has been consistent for quite some time: the webapp has first dibs on providing the classes (except for some special ones like java.lang.* and other non-overridable packages). > org.apache.jasper.JasperException: javax.servlet.ServletException: > java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xerces/util/XMLChar > > org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.handleJspException(JspServletWrapper.java:491) > > org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:401) > > org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:313) > org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:260) > javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717) > > root cause > > javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: > org/apache/xerces/util/XMLChar > > org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.doHandlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:862) > > org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:791) > org.apache.jsp.search_jsp._jspService(search_jsp.java:886) > org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:70) > javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717) > > org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:377) > > org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:313) > org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:260) > javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717) That certainly does look like a library incompatibility. What version of Xerces ships with Jena? What happens if you simply remove Xerces from your webapp entirely? If Jena is using JAXP, then (ideally) everything should work. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0NEiAACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAtIQCgvUDc18DEHHiKYOJ+ZqQmsFAH 7GMAoJBecWiAnpazTHtacGF6/VVFA443 =v1Oy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org Email has been scanned for viruses by Altman Technologies' email management service - www.altman.co.uk/emailsystems Glasgow Caledonian University is a registered Scottish charity, number SC021474 Winner: Times Higher Education’s Widening Participation Initiative of the Year 2009 and Herald Society’s Education Initiative of the Year 2009 http://www.gcu.ac.uk/newsevents/news/bycategory/theuniversity/1/name,6219,en.html
