feature not recognized for SAX driver parser.XMLReaderI

[john mattucci]

I run the following in Eclipse and everything is fine however when I run it somewhere else I get the error which follows the code. Is it possible that im using old jars?

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import org.jdom.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
import org.jdom.xpath.*;
import org.jdom.input.*;

public class Test2 {

public static void main(String []args)
{
Test2 s = new Test2();
try
{
s.test();

}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}


public void test() throws Exception
{
try
{
Document doc = null;
SAXBuilder saxBuilder =new SAXBuilder();
saxBuilder.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
saxBuilder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", true);
saxBuilder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking", true);
saxBuilder.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation","test.xsd");

doc = saxBuilder.build("test.xml");

Since the error mentions:

org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl

I think you need the crimson parser package, not the standard Java one.
According to http://xml.apache.org/ the crimson parser project is inactive.

Which version of Java SDK do you have?

[john mattucci]

the crimson.jar is included

[Lasse Koskela]

That is a Xerces feature, not Crimson. In other words, you need to download Xerces.
