error with springIDE 1.2.5

[dombat1]

I've just updated springIDE to v 1.2.5
And now, starting Eclipse (3.1.1, WTP 1.0, Spring 1.2.6 jars) I get this log, and in the Spring View, I can't display the Beans Graph.
I had no trouble with 1.2.4

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/DOMError

The class "org.w3c.dom.DOMError" belongs to the "xml-apis.jar" from Xerces 2.7 which ships with Spring IDE's "org.springframework.ide.eclipse.core" plugin. Maybe the update to Spring IDE 1.2.5 wasn't successfully or your Eclipse installation is messed up. Please check your Eclipse configuration (menu item "Help" -> "About Eclipse SDK" -> Button "Configuration Details") for the following lines:

i had the same problem. doesn't look like that jar was included with the upgrade. when i added xml-apis.jar to the core directory everything was fine.

[Torsten Juergeleit]

doesn't look like that jar was included with the upgrade. when I added xml-apis.jar to the core directory everything was fine.

Yes, that's the reason for the NoClassDefFoundError. During upgrading Xerces from 2.4 to 2.7 I forgot to change the core plugin's "build.properties" accordingly (xmlParserAPIs.jar was renamed to xml-apis.jar). So the xml-apis.jar wasn't packaged with the core plugin during build.

During our tests we didn't experience this error because we're running JDK 1.5 where Xerces 2.7 is part of the JDK. So all users with JDK 1.4.x will run into this problem :-(

This is fixed and a new version of the core plugin with including "xml-apis.jar" is available on the updatesite. Another bugfix is included as well.

So you have to re-install Spring IDE 1.2.5 from the updatesite.

Sorry for this inconvenience.

[shar_deo]

When I try to load a bunch of spring config files using spring ide 1.2.5, I get the following exception in the eclipse logs.

Upon further investigation it turns out that this method relies upon the xml apis in Java 1.5 while I am running 1.4 (The exact issue is that the class org/w3c/dom/UserDataHandler is missing in JRE 1.4.2)

Do I have to use spring ide 1.2.5 with Java 1.5 or is there a way I can use it with 1.4?

Do I have to use spring ide 1.2.5 with Java 1.5 or is there a way I can use it with 1.4?

No, you don't need Java 1.5 to run Spring IDE. Spring IDE ships with it's own version of Apache Xerces (which is the one from Java 1.5 :-).

It seems that you have a problem with your Eclipse / Spring IDE installation. The core plugin from Spring IDE 1.2.5 (containing Xerces) is not referenced correctly. Please delete all plugins / features of Spring IDE from your Eclipse installation and re-install Spring IDE via Eclipse update manager.

Torsten

[shar_deo]

I tried unistall, cleaning up and re-installing the plugin from the update site and it did not work.
One more thing, I am using RSA 6.0.1 and not eclipse. Could that be the problem?

But 1.2.4 seems to work.

[Torsten Juergeleit]

I am using RSA 6.0.1 and not eclipse. Could that be the problem?

No. Unless RSA 6.0.1 ships with it's own version of JDK (e.g. IBM's one) with an older version of Xerces replacing Sun's buggy Crimson XML parser (which is shipped with Sun's JDK). Spring IDE requires Xerces 2.7.x due to DOM Level 3 support (user data).

But 1.2.4 seems to work.

Ok, then let's check your Eclipse installation a bit:

1. Post your system configuration (Menu "Help / About / Configuration Details"

2. Check the contents of the directory assigned to the system property "java.endorsed.dirs" (see "Configuration Details") -> no XML stuff should be here -> this is replacing Sun's Crimson XML parser which is shipped with Sun's JDK 1.4.2

3. Check the arguments of your startup icon of RSA for the stuff mentioned here -> http://www.eclipse.org/emf/downloads-xerces.php

4. Double-check that Spring IDE's core plugin contains both XML parser libraries (xml-apis.jar and xercesImpl.jar).


If 2. or 3. are true then load the latest version of Apache Xerces and replace the old libraries in the mentioned endorsed directory with the 2 new libraries (the same ones shipped with Spring IDE's core plugin). You can copy the XML parser libraries from Spring IDE's core plugin too (it's shipping with the latest version 2.7.1).

Hope this helps.
Torsten

[shar_deo]

Attached is my Configuration Details. I can't find a property for java.endorsed.dirs

Since I am running RSA, I don't have any startup vm args (I am just executing the rationalsdp.exe file). Is there somewhere else I can look for the vm args are?

I am also convinced that the problem is with IBM's JRE.
Can you tell me which folder I would have to replace the jars? I am running pretty much the standard RSA installation and haven't mucked much with the default settings.

Thanks

[Torsten Juergeleit]

Me too :-) Sorry, I don't know anything about IBM's JREs.

Since I am running RSA, I don't have any startup vm args (I am just executing the rationalsdp.exe file). Is there somewhere else I can look for the vm args are?

Maybe rationalsdp.exe is the same launcher as eclipse.exe. In this case you can add the required arguments here. Anyway, rationalsdp.exe must provide a way to let you specify the memory settings for your JVM.

I am also convinced that the problem is with IBM's JRE.
Can you tell me which folder I would have to replace the jars?

As I already said, I know nothing about IBM's JREs. But I would look for a directory named "endorsed" in "C:\RSA6.0\eclipse\jre\lib\".

Hope this helps.
