Fail to start Tomcat 8 with xerces library

[Kien Vo]

Hi all,

 

I encountered this error when starting Tomcat 8 with
xerces library. Any help appreciated!

 

I put xerces.jar in this folder C:\tomcat8\endorsed. If I
don't put it there, Tomcat does not load that library at all. My application
gets "NoSuchMethodException".

 

Tomcat server:            8.0.30.0

JVM Version:          
    1.7.0_51-b13 (32 bit)

OS Name:             
      Windows 7 (64 bit)

OS Version:           
     6.1
