| Re: [higgins-dev] Problems running STS on Tomcat6 using JVM 1.6.x |

Mike,
Thank you! That seemed to work. There was a c:\tomcat6\common\endorsed directory (actually, I had to create it). Putting stax-api-1.0.1.jar into that directory apparently causes tomcat's class loader to look there before it looked at builtin classes. ... A little trick we'll have to remember going forward as other users run into this issue...

I would have thought that by including the stax-api-1.0.1.jar in the WAR file you would not need that.
