[FormProc-developer] Note on JDK 1.4

[Anthony E. <me...@an...>]

It appears that the example web applications which are shipped with
FormProc do not work properly with Tomcat 4.0.1 and JDK 1.4. The problem
is related to conflicts between the JAXP and Crimson libraries which are
included with FormProc and the JAXP libraries which are included in the
JDK.  The problem does not occur in Tomcat 4.0.3 because class path
separation has been improved.

The workaround for this problem is to remove the Crimson and JAXP
libraries from the WEB-INF/lib directory.  This appears to work fine
with any copy of Tomcat 4 and JDK 1.4.  If you are using JDK 1.3 then
the JAXP and Crimson libraries should be left in the WEB-INF/lib
directory.

Sincerely,
Anthony Eden
