XML Parsing Exception during start of tc Server

**cmon** · Sep 8th, 2009, 08:36 AM

Hi Everyone!

i created a new Spring Web Flow Application using the Wizard. I added bean and other definitions to the app-config.xml. I attached it, further down. No compilation errors whatsoever occur. But when I deploy the application to the integrated tc Server i get the error messages you see in the attached log. Now I've read about some similar problems, that the XML Parsing libraries are supposedly out of date. Can anyone confirm this? It seems odd, since I installed the latest JDK, using SpringSource Tool Suit which as far as I know should come packaged with the latest libraries as well, and I checked my Classpath and Path variables and no other Java related entries other then the JAVA_HOME location is to be found.
If it really is a matter of old libraries, which libraries and where do I have to put them? Shouldn't the Spring Libraries have Maven dependencies upon the latest related libraries?

Thanks for any clue!

I'm having the exact same problem.

**cmon** · Sep 12th, 2009, 06:34 AM

has anyone found a solution to this problem?

would appreciate it!

**Christian Dupuis** · Sep 12th, 2009, 11:09 AM

Hi,

you are using Spring 3.0 XSD in your XML definition files. Do you have Spring 3.0 jars on your classpath? If not Xerces will try to load the XSD files from the internet. Because Spring 3.0 has not been released yet, those XSDs have not been uploaded yet.

You can try downloading http://www.springframework.org/schem...-beans-3.0.xsd and see that this redirects to springsource.org which is very similar to the error message you are seeing.

Hi Christian,

thank you! I changed the xsd s to 2.5 and it works.

cheers!

**picosam** · Sep 14th, 2009, 03:37 AM

Hello Christian,

But in my case, I DO have Spring 3.0 jars in my path... in fact I have only those in my path, no other version!

Thank you,
Sammy

Hi,

I'm going to move that over to the tc Server forum which seems more appropriate.

I'll let the tc Server engineers take over....

Hmmmmm glad to see I'm not the only one that is confused by this. Where do you get the latest version of the libraries, assuming that this is the problem?

**Christian Dupuis** · Sep 18th, 2009, 02:31 AM

Hi,

can you check that you really only have Spring 3.0 jars in your web-inf/lib by checking the web app contents in the following directory:

<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/wtwebapps/<context>/WEB-INF/lib

It could be that some other non-Spring 3.0 dependencies got dragged in by Maven....

**codepuppet** · Nov 11th, 2009, 05:18 PM

I am fighting with this now.

What type of jar would cause this to happen? Older versions of Spring?
I have 3.0.RC1 jars along with the Spring security 3.0 jars and I get these non-whitespace messages ...
