Running a recently started Grails (1.3.1) application fails on both our linux machines (Bamboo server & laptop) with the exception "Provider for javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory cannot be found". This both using maven or standalone. On our OS X and Windows developments machines using JDK 1.6_020 the problem does not occur.
When using the -Djaxp.debug=1 VM parameter the log shows that no specific SAXParserFactoryImpl implementation is chosen, and that fallback value com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl is used.
JDK 1.6_020 on the linux machine does indeed contain com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl in one of its .jar files. However running grails fails with javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider for javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory cannot be found
Any clues on how to find the exact cause for this problem are welcome.
Thx, Ruben
Environment:
- Grails 1.3.1 (build with Maven or standalone)
- Sun JDK 1.6_020 or Sun JDK 1.6_014
- Ubuntu (recent version)
Partial stack trace from Bamboo:
Embedded error: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
Provider for javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory cannot be found
