[rkirad]

not sure if that is the problem

[jeremyg484]

Try adding:

<dependency>
	<groupId>xalan</groupId>
	<artifactId>xalan</artifactId>
	<version>2.7.1</version>
</dependency>

to the pom.xml of the testdrive project and re-build (don't forget to refresh the projects in Eclipse afterwards).

It seems this is only necessary for certain environments. I'd be curious to know exactly what JVM and OS combination you are using.

[rkirad]

I'm running SpringSource Tool Suite 2.0.2, with Tomcat 6.0.2 on windows professional version

[jeremyg484]

And what JVM are you using?

[rkirad]

Jdk 1.6.0_14

I had the same issue, this was a timely post, it resolved my problem as well.

Here are my environment for your reference:
TomCat 6.0.18
STS 2.0.1
Java Version 1.6.0_13

Let me know if you additional information about my environment.

Same issue here. The xalan dependency fixes the issue.

Setup:
OS: Win 7 Ultimate 32bit RC
Java: 1.6.0_13
Tomcat: 6.0.18
STS: 2.02

I had the same issue, and the pom dependency fix did the trick. High five to Jeremy!

Windows XP sp2 32 bit
Tomcat 6.0.14
