Error running Airline web service sample in WAS6.0 app server

Hi,

I am new to spring framework. I have been getting this error with "Airline" sample web service on Rational Application Developer's WAS6.0 test environment (tried on WAS 5.o too). I appreciate a lot if someone can help me out in making this work.

I think you are startup WAS with the SUN jdk (see the reference to com.sun) in the classpath. That's not supported, you will have to use a IBM jdk to run it.

I'm not saying that the airline sample will actually run on WAS, but it might if you upgrade all XML handling API's (as explain in another, older thread on this forum, related to BEA weblogic).
