[jdom-interest] Problem with org.jdom.input.DOMBuilder in beta5

[Robert Lynch]

Hiya-

I am working through "Java and XML" and just tried the "XML-RPC
Configuration servlet" example, starts around p.351 of the book. 
Running the servlet reveals a problem with input.DOMBuilder, I
think. Tomcat 3.2 output:
======
Error: 500

Location: /servlet/XmlRpcConfigurationServlet

Internal Servlet Error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

I looked at the latest revision (1.19) of input.DOMBuilder the
CVS, and it seems to have the same buildTree problem, i.e.:
====
    public Document build(InputStream in) throws JDOMException {
        Document doc = new Document(null);
        try {
            DOMAdapter adapter =
               
(DOMAdapter)Class.forName(adapterClass).newInstance();

            org.w3c.dom.Document domDoc = adapter.getDocument(in,
validate);

            // Start out at root level
            buildTree(domDoc, doc, null, true); <-- method
doesn't exist
...
