I believe that you've probably got two versions of xerces on your classpath somewhere...
James -----Original Message----- From: Pascale, Peter H. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 11:16 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: xerces.jar vs. xercesImpl.jar I am surprised to find that axis seems to require a specific parser - xerces, and will not accept xercesImpl. I thought both would be JAXP 1.1 compliant parsers, as the set-up instructions describe: "In the WEB-INF directory, you'll find a "lib" directory. In this directory, copy the jars associated with the JAXP 1.1 XML compliant parser of your choice. We recommend xerces jars from the xml-xerces distribution, though others work." When I try to compile wsdl or run an axis client with xercesImpl.jar in the classpath instead of xerces.jar, I get: [java] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/Node Any ideas why this incompatibility exists?
