[jdom-interest] Error validating schema - can't find xerces parser

[lanikfs at cox.net]

Thanks John and Sanjeev.

I have confirmed that the parser class is indeed in the classpath.  I even tried explicitly including the class-file in the .jar file that the application was deployed to.  I've made sure that there is no other instance of the class in the classpath.

I've seen before where the compiler won't pull in a class if it's not explicitly instantiated somewhere in the code - which I've made sure to do and that compiles and runs just fine.  Therefore, I've confirmed that at least the compiler and runtime can find it that way.  It seems it's only the SAXBuilder and something about the way it's looking up the class.

I am not familar with Oracle JDeveloper but it sounds
like the xerces jar is not in your classpath at
runtime or perhaps you have multiple
org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser classes in your
classpath and an older invalid one is obsuring the
relevant one.
