Re: [ebxmlms-general] Digital signatures worries

[Patrick Y. <kc...@ce...>]

Hi Gait,

We have met this before.=20

On windows platform, we need one more configuration step besides =
patching xalan.jar in the endorsed directory. You should place =
%JAVA_HOME%\bin in %PATH% variable, and WITH IT PLACED BEFORE =
C:\winnt\system32. If you do not do so, the patching seems to have no =
effect. Strange behaviour, huh?

We have mentioned this in Chapter 2 in our installation guide, though it =
is not an eye-catching note. :-)

Hope this helps.

Regards,
-Patrick

  Hi,

  I'm testing digital signatures, and get a warning from xalan.jar =
related to the JDK1.4 endorsed mechanism, while the MSH monitor hangs. =
From the exception log, I can tell that xalan doesn't like the way it =
was installed. This may be related to the fact that I'm running =
JDK1.4.1, rather than JDK1.4.0.=20
  I tried the following:
  * Copying the xalan.jar to c:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\lib\endorsed (it's =
already in c:\j2sdk1.4.1\jre\lib\endorsed)
  * Running the monitor with c:\j2sdk1.4.1\jre\lib\endorsed\xalan.jar =
instead of ..\lib\xalan.jar in the CP
  * Running the monitor with c:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\lib\endorsed\xalan.jar =
instead of ..\lib\xalan.jar in the CP
  * Running the monitor without ..\lib\xalan.jar in the CP
  All this to no avail, the last one gives a classNotDefFound error.
  Full error trace:
