Folks - I'm not a Dev and am not java informed to any great degree. What I am looking for is a specific library and I think I need a specific version. Details:
We are moving a VERY old application from one environment to another On the target system, tomcat fails to start with messages about this library being missing: org/apache/xerces/jaxp/SAXParserFactoryImpl I search the new system and find : /usr/share/doc/xml-commons-apis-1.4.01/README-sax, which contains these lines: SAX 2.0.1 (sax2r2) 29-January-2002 So, I assume I need a new JAR file, version 2.0.1 which contains the missing library. I've found these on mvnrepository: sax-2.0.1.pom sax-2.0.1.jar maven-metadata.xml But when I look inside the JAR file I do not see any references to SAXParserFactoryImpl . It may be that it's hidden in one of the included files or it may be that I do not have a JAR that contains it at all. It may be that I could use the latest version of the JAR file but I don't know how backward compatible Java JAR files are. Does anyone have advice on usage of a later version or in fact, what I really need that encompasses the SAXParserFactoryImpl code . Sorry, I was unable to find a search engine on the list that would allow me to find an answer. So, a pointer to that if it exists would be handy as well. Thanks for your forbearance and assistance.
