ClassCastException with apache digester

[ratheesh]

We are seeing this ClassCastException from Digester, whenever we start JBOSS from Eclipse IDE. It works fine when started at command line. The SAR within which the Digester is embedded has defined a loader-repository.

Any ideas ? What could Eclipse be angry with ?

I'm experiencing the same problem. But I start JBoss from the IntelliJ IDEA plugin...

Though if I start JBoss from the command line, it does not work any better...

Looks like Eclipse was passing the crimson SAX factory (by default) when it starts off JBOSS. After I changed this to xerces, things worked fine.
