[jdom-interest] xerces SAX parse problem : StackOverflowError

[Aron Kramlik]

Hi,

Below is the error I am getting when trying to parse an XML file
using JDOM and Xerces as the SAX parser.

java.lang.StackOverflowError

I am using the latest download of Xerces (as of a week ago) on Linux RedHat
6.2 and
IBM JDK 1.2 :
java version "1.2.2"
Classic VM (J2RE 1.2.2 IBM build cx122-20010308 (JIT enabled: jitc))

We had another version of xerces, I am not sure what version and where from,
that used
to and still works.

This is the new one that does not work:
-rw-rw-r--    1 akramlik devel     1498679 Oct 17 23:24
/home/akramlik/cma/dist/lib/xerces.jar

This is the old one that does work:
-rw-rw-r--    1 akramlik devel      804460 Oct 17 23:27
/home/akramlik/cma/dist/lib/xerces.jar

The strange thing is that everyhting works fine for both jar files on JDK
1.3 :
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Classic VM (build 1.3.0, J2RE 1.3.0 IBM build cx130-20010502 (JIT enabled:
jitc))

Any ideas as to why this would be a problem?

Thanks for your help,

Aron.
