Starting Tomcat in eclipse

i get the following exceptions:

“With tomcat 4.x, things become simpler, but this version of tomcat uses the jaxp sax parser factory. Moreover, this version of tomcat requires a validating parser, and it doesn”t check whether the parser actually is validating. If the AElfred parser is supplied in the system properties, an exception will be thrown when tomcat attempts to set validating on. I”d recommend using the (validating) xerces 1.4.4 sax parser rather than AElfred parser. It”s not safe to rely on the default parser, by not setting system properties, because it”s very likely there are several versions of the JAXP classes in the classpath, and who knows when you might get another one. The practice by the distributors of XML tools to include implementations of the JAXP classes in their own jar files is, of course, rather insane, but that”s the way it is.

Do this,
System.setProperty(“javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory”,
“org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl”);=20
but also do this
System.setProperty(“org.xml.parsers.sax.parser”,
“org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser”);=20
since many third party tools base the parser choice on =
“org.xml.parsers.sax.parser” rather than use the SAXParserFactory.

in eclipse add the following key to the launcher in VM arguments

-Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
-Dorg.xml.parsers.sax.parser=org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser
