IBM jre javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError

Question

I'm trying use log4j with IBM JRE,

While configuring DOMConfigurator with log4j file like the following,

DOMConfigurator.configure(log4jfileAbsPath);

I get the following error. With Sun jre it is working fine.

javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl not found
    at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(Unknown Source)
    at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.doConfigure(DOMConfigurator.java:694)
    at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.doConfigure(DOMConfigurator.java:604)
    at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.configure(DOMConfigurator.java:733)

Answer 1

It should be in rt.jar, but it seems that IBM doesn't have it there. You have to find xercesImpl- version .jar and put it in a classpath. You should discover which version is right for you.
