Re: [higgins-dev] Using Higgins Token Adapter with xml-apis

[Ian Hummel <hummel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could you clarify what you mean by "Higgings Token disassembly module"?  Have a look at the components listed here http://wiki.eclipse.org/Components#Plugins_folder.  I say this because none of the entries in your stack trace look like they actually _originate_ within Higgins code.

It seems, from the stacktrace anyways, that the code which depends on a newer version of xml-apis is in com.infosys.ps.icas.higgins  and not org.eclipse.higgins.

Any way you could confirm that?

Thanks,

ian.

I am trying to integrate CardSpace authentication in our application using the Higgins Token disassembly module. However my application also uses xerces-j libraries (xml-apis.jar and xercesImpl.jar) version 2.6.2. Therefore the CLASSPATH of my application also contains the path to xml-apis.jar. When I try to run the CardSpace auth module in our application, I get the following error:

This problem goes away if I remove or rename the xml-apis.jar from my application installation. However that is not an option (neither is modifying the CLASSPATH). That being the case, how can I resolve the above error? Please note that any change in the version of xml-apis.jar will also incur a cascading effect on other components that depend on this jar, so I am looking for a solution that will help me localize the fix to my auth module only, in case possible.
