Tomcat 4.0.6 and JAXP problem

[echurley]

I have been running a web app on tomcat. When I added a module to create a pdf from xml using fop, I now get a server start up error where it can not instantiate the SAXFactory.

I have jar files for sax, xerces, xercesImpl, xalan, and fop. According to directions, I placed them in tomcat's common\lib.

Do I need to change my web-inf? Help. I can post code if it helps.

What JRE are you using? I ususally put those level of jar's directly into the JRE/lib/ext folder and have no problems running all the XML libraries under Tomcat.

I've been doing that since JRE 1.3 and now using 1.4 and 1.4.2 or whatever the latest release is. I guess Microsoft isn't the only software company that churns out versions of stuff eh? LOL
