Thanks Mukul Gandhi, actually the problem was that although I have added the jar in the classpath , Tomcat couldn't see it. So I added the jar into the Tomcat/shared/lib path and the problem was solved.
Thank you again, Eva I think the almost definitive answer to this problem is: Please provide the jar (xercesImpl.jar in this case) to JVM classpath. Though I haven't worked with the API you've mentioned. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError%3A-org-apache-xerces-util-XMLChar-tp29837929p29846517.html Sent from the Xerces - J - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: j-users-unsubscr...@xerces.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: j-users-h...@xerces.apache.org
