Further developments .. !
I removed the xerces.jar from my CLASSPATH, before calling ant and it
compiled the classes!
I have a few questions!
(1) I see that there are some SAX classes supplied with ant:
trdbd04:srtre>jar -tvf jaxp.jar | grep SAX
1478 Thu Mar 30 18:21:24 BST 2000 javax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory.class
1969 Thu Mar 30 18:21:24 BST 2000 javax/xml/parsers/SAXParser.class
trdbd04:srtre>jar -tvf parser.jar | grep SAX
731 Thu Mar 30 18:21:18 BST 2000 org/xml/sax/SAXException.class
1372 Thu Mar 30 18:21:18 BST 2000 org/xml/sax/SAXParseException.class
550 Thu Mar 30 18:21:50 BST 2000
com/sun/xml/parser/SAXParserFactoryImpl.class
1151 Thu Mar 30 18:21:50 BST 2000 com/sun/xml/parser/SAXParserImpl.class
trdbd04:srtre>jar -tvf ant.jar | grep SAX
And given that the order the *.jars appear in the classpath are significant,
I would guess that ant is happily using these SAX* classes to run with and
also using them in the compile of my code.
How can I get round this behaviour to use the SAX* classes from the
xerces.jar? Is it necessary?
(2) Why did my build in NT work?
Well the script which updates the local classpath prefixes the existing
localclasspath with the ant libraries
set LOCALCLASSPATH=%1;%LOCALCLASSPATH%
On Solaris it puts them on the end (taken from ${ANT_HOME)/bin/ant):
# add in the dependency .jar files
DIRLIBS=${ANT_HOME}/lib/*.jar
for i in ${DIRLIBS}
do
# if the directory is empty, then it will return the input string
# this is stupid, so case for it
if [ "$i" != "${DIRLIBS}" ] ; then
LOCALCLASSPATH=$LOCALCLASSPATH:"$i"
fi
done
if [ "$CLASSPATH" != "" ] ; then
LOCALCLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$LOCALCLASSPATH
fi
Is this behaviour intended, if so can someone please explain why?
Best regards
Simon

Subject: Cannot load class SAXParserFactory class
I've managed to get Ant working on NT. However when I move the development
to Solaris I get the following exception (see attached):
<<ant.txt>>
The script I use outputs the values of LOCALCLASSPATH and CLASSPATH before
running org.apache.tools.ant.Main.
We're using java 1.3 on NT and Solaris. And we've put javax.jar into the
${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib directory (I saw this on the mail list archive).
But I'm buggered if I can figure out what's going on.
Any ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
