Re: Strange XML compiler error - Correction

[David Rancour]

Below I stated that this is a compiler error. It is not. It actually occurs
when I run the code after compiling successfully.

When you run a Java application and you get a NoClassDefFoundError, it means
the class it can't find isn't in your classpath.

Paul,

I am importing the import org.xml.sax.*; package which contains SAXException
class also I am importing the javax.xml.parsers.*; package which contains
the ParserConfigurationException class. The fact that the compiler compiles
this code without error tells me that these packages are in fact being resolved
correctly. For the record, CLASSPATH is as follows:

CLASSPATH=.;c:\jdk13\bin;c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b5\common\lib\servlet.jar;C:\jsdk2.1;C:\jdk13\jre\lib\ext;

And the .jar's live in the C:\jdk13\jre\lib\ext directory

Any other idea's??

As I thought, you are running this in a servlet. The classpath of a servlet
is generally NOT the environment value CLASSPATH, but some other value
that's configured in your servlet engine (which appears to be Tomcat in your
case).
