Profiling a Spring app using Rational Application Developer

[Paul Newport]

If I use the profile option of RAD to run my tests, in order to get code coverage statistics, I get:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionSt oreException: Parser configuration exception parsing XML from class path resource [net/targetgroup/newbusiness/client/bcm/spring/applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException: Unable to validate using XSD: Your JAXP provider [org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl @15e9756] does not support XML Schema. Are you running on Java 1.4 or below with Apache Crimson? Upgrade to Apache Xerces (or Java 1.5) for full XSD support.
Caused by: javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException: Unable to validate using XSD: Your JAXP provider [org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl @15e9756] does not support XML Schema.

Has anyone managed to profile a Spring application using RAD ?

Sussed it:

add -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apac he.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl

to the startup parms for the JVM, and add

C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\runtimes\base_v6\java\j re\lib\xml.jar to the unit test classpath.
