Hi,

This error shows up during the parsing of the clusterConfig due to the element is empty. Have you modified your xml files at all? The other question is whether the xml files run during standalone mode (i.e., outside Tomcat).

BTW, the handling of sub-element config is not fool proof now so I will make a note of it and enhance it next. :-)

Hi All,

I am encountering same problem. Also bwang00, what do you mean by this "The other question is whether the xml files run during standalone mode "

thanks in advance for the reply,

What I meant was that can you run "build.bat run.demo" from the jboss-cache that you have downloaded? If you can, then tree cache is started correctly in standalone mode.

Hope this help,

I also encountered the problem when i was testing TreeCache. My testing program is just java standalone under solaris.

Reason: It seems related to xerces xml parser.when i remove the xerces.jar from classpath. My test program run ok. I don't why?

Try remove the xerces.jar from your tomcat or your classpath.

Hi All,

I hade the same problem. The problem was in the org.jboss.cache.PropertyConfigurator class.

If you look the getSubElementObject function, you will see a mistake in the conditional test.

Indeed, the equality test between two String should never be with "=" sign but with the equals method.

this is the line :

if(node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE &&
 ((Element)node).getTagName() == SUB_ATTR) {
 return (Element)node;
 }

if(node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE && SUB_ATTR.equals( ((Element)node).getTagName()) ) {
 return (Element)node;
 }

Jerome,

Good catch!! I will incorporate your fix into upcoming 1.1 release.

Thanks a lot,

-Ben
