package org.xml does not exist??

CFerthorney · May 9th, 2004, 09:47 AM

I am wondering if anyone can help me.

Having eventually managed to install J2EE on my Linux box and windows box (It works successfully, I have tested it using the sample .war apps) I went to try and program my coursework (Using XML and java).

Firstly I thought I'd test that I could see the necessary packages. so I wrote

Code:

import org.xml.*;
...

when I javac'd it, it cam up with the error package org.xml does not exist. I thought I have included all the necessary jar files in the classpath

Code:

javac -classpath $J2EE_HOME/jdk/lib/rt.jar testXML.java

does anyone know how t solve this problem. Where is the org.xml package jar'd?

I am new to J2EE and my java experience is limited (Imports so far have all been in rt.jar.)

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I have managed to solve it.

In case anyone was wondering (And I feel pretty silly (

)for not checking all jar files properly (Thank you jar -tf!) the package org.xml is located at $ANT_HOME (Or %ANT_HOME% under windows) /lib/xml-apis.jar! Include that in your classpath and it works like a dream.

Man I feel silly!!!
