java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xerces/framework/XMLParser

I have a problem with my application. When I build the ear file everything seems to be ok. Deploying to JBOSS 3.0.7 run fine too. But when I call a method which creates a PCML object the program crashes.

Here's the source:

// Create and instantiate an AS/400 Object
// If you do not enter a user id or password, you will be prompted for each
AS400 sys = new AS400("10.0.0.XXX", "USER", "PASSWORD");
System.out.println("\n\nConnecting to iSeries..."+"\nConnected to system: "+sys.getSystemName()+"\nRunning version: "+sys.getVersion()+"\nSigned on as user: "+sys.getUserId());

// Create Data Objects
ProgramCallDocument pcml; // com.ibm.as400.data.ProgramCallDocument
String parm1; // RPG program variable
String comment; // RPG program variable
boolean rc = false; // Return code for program call
String msgId, msgText; // Messages returned from AS/400

System.out.println("\n\nData objects created...");

try
{

// Instantiate the Objects (assign the variables)
pcml = new ProgramCallDocument(sys, "com.dcs.lims.central_order_management.ejb.testpgm"); /* CRASHES on this line */

System.out.println("\n\nPCML object created...");

pcml.setValue("program.parameter1", new String("5"));

System.out.println("\n\nPCML values are set...");

etc.......

This is the error output generated:

I just don't get the problem, I have a JAR file in my classpath containing this class. I'm really running out of options here, so your help would be appreciated. I really need to fix this PCML problem.

Thanks in advance!

MogalManic

The xerces.jar needs to be in your classpath. Try putting it in WEB-INF/lib directory for your app.

hackwar

ASKER

I've tried that but still no luck. Jboss tells me the xerces.jar file is deployed but when I start the JSP which calls the bean that should call the PCML program, it gives the exact same error.

DaveyEss

Have you put a reference to xerces.jar in the manifest file in your jar?

MogalManic

I'm at a loss. Is the PCML program running in the same VM as JBoss? You are using Tomcat right?

hackwar

ASKER

I have added it to the manifest still no luck.

Yes I use TomCat and Jboss. I develop and test on the same machine, so jBoss is on the same machine as my compiler.

TimYates

Where EXACTLY are you putting the xerces.jar?

If JBoss says it is deploying it, it sounds like it is in the wrong place :-(

For webapps, you need to put it in WEB-INF/lib

For JBoss, you need to put it in jboss/server/default/lib

hackwar

ASKER

Adding xerces.jar to jboss/server/default/lib seemed to solve the NoClassDef error, but now a new one arose:

check you don't have multiple versions of xerces.jar in your project, WEB-INF/lib, or the jboss lib directories...

nope only in the jBoss directories there is only 1 xerces.jar, I not quite sure what to do next.

TimYates

Ahhhhh...right, you are using a library which has the class:

com.ibm.as400.data.PcmlSAXParser

in it.

This class uses a different version of Xerces to what you have put into the lib directory :-/

According to this: http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/0/4f33cee6f1cca16e86256e550080118f?OpenDocument

You need "xerces321.jar or later"

TimYates

This seems to be the same error, and *may* shed some light on things if that first thing fails...

If I use any other (new version) xerces jar file the NoClassDef error re-appears. Maybe I should rebuild the new version into a xerces.jar file instead of a xercesImpl.jar

TimYates

Ok, try putting the new version into WEB-INF/lib

and the other one into default/lib

and cross your fingers ;-)

TimYates

Sorry, I mean...put the one which gets rid of the class cast exception into

jboss/server/default/lib

and the new version for Pcml in WEB-INF/lib for your webapp...

THEN, cross your fingers ;-)

Nope the verify error comes up again. Anymore suggestions? (thanks for your help so far!)

TimYates

Ahhhh....the Pcml stuff is in your EJB layer?

I'm confused! ;-) Too many jars in too many places :-(

What happens if you swap the jars round?

classcastexception fixing jar -> WEB-INF/lib
newxerces -> default/lib

?

Sorry...a bit hit and miss this answer... But I'm running out of ideas :-(

After moving and deleting jars around I now finally get a 'normal' error from java.

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: RuntimeException; nested exception is:
java.util.MissingResourceException: PCML document source 'com.dcs.lims.central_order_management.ejb.testpgm.pcml' cannot be found.

That's something I can work with!

Many thanks for all your help!
