[jdom-interest] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.xml.sax.Attributes: method getQName(I)Ljava/lang/String; not found

[David Zangger]

i'm having major problems with jdom b5 and b6 on our AIX 4.3.3 box
running (Classic VM (J2R3 1.2.2 IBM build ca122-19991217 (JIT enabled:
jitc)).  On the PC, running jdk 1.3, everything works great.  I hate to
bother y'all with this but i'm really going crazy.  it's like i can
build it with the right xerces.jar file but when i run it, it uses an
old copy or something.  could it be that the old one is cached and the
server has to be rebooted?  i've even tried using xerces version 3.3.1. 


thank you for any more help,
dave


This is my classpath on AIX:

.:/usr/java_dev2/jre/lib/tools.jar:/usr/java_dev2/jre/lib/rt.jar:/home/dzangger/quotes/source/beta/xerces.jar:/home/dzangger/quotes/source/beta/jdom.jar

the xerces.jar is the file that was packaged with the beta.  when i add
the -verbose option to the compile, i get:

Now, when i run it, i get nothing but errors.
