Hi,
I have a fairly complex problem to describe with Xerces-J 2.5.0. I'll try to make it simple.
My goal is to parse XHTML files. I parse them ok but my issues are with not compliant XHTML files such as the ones with <input ...> instead of <input .../>.
I have rebuilt the Xerces library in eclipse.
I have made a small test in a test environment, and it looks like Xerces is able to correct such xml errors. I was surprised. However, some features are failing to be set such as http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema/augment-psvi, http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities...
But the parse process is running ok. And it solves my XHTML mistakes...
Now, when I use this Xerces jar in Tomcat (I have removed all other reference to any XML parser), the features are set correctly but the document fails to be parsed.
I simply do not understand why it is different in the command line and in tomcat. I use an explicit call to create a new org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser:
parser = new org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser();
When I use a library from the binary distribution (2.4.0, 2.5.0 and 2.6.1) it fails in both cases.
Is there some Sun XML parser that is overriding my use of Xerces (like the built-in version of Xalan)?
Is there a way to know the location of the JAR files the program is using? I am pretty sure that I am using the right classpath (otherwise it fails) but who knows...
Any help / hint will be really appreciated...
TIA
