DTD Parsing configuration issue

[arulasha]

I got the below exception while trying to start the JBoss AS 5, It seems to be the Parser is validating DTD as like Schema. Not sure where to disable the future ,

Below is log I have captured from server.

I am using D:\Tools\Java\jdk1.5.0_06 and also using jaxb jars from sun.

Please help me to resolving the issue.

Did you do any changes after installing a clean JBoss? The deployment of invoker.war seems to be failing, which is strange. Have you deployed your own application in this JBoss? If yes, does removing your application and starting JBoss work?

also using jaxb jars from sun

Could you please elaborate? Did you replace any existing jar files?

Thank you for your reply.

Yes I modified ports and couple of other minor modifications in to suit our application ( all are configuration changes).

I have not replaced any jars from JBoss AS5. My application requires JAXB jars since previous Jboss version does not have jars for JAXB.

I have tried to use JBoss JAXB jars, but got few compilation errors. So I have used SUN JAXB jars in my ear application.

It seems to me, the web deployer is not configured correctly. so when it try load the wars, it is validating the DTDs , this leads to error.

Hope this will help.
