[opencms-dev] OpenCmsServlet threw exception

[Alexander Kandzior]

This a a conflict of XML/Xerces jar versions. Tomcat comes with a version
that is not compatible with OpenCms at this time. 

Solution: Look for a xercexImpl.jar somehere in the default Tomcat lib
folders. Replace this with the xerxec1.4.4.jar that ships with OpenCms. 

Best Regards,
Alex.

I'm a newbie to OpenCms so please excuse me if this question is too simple.
I just installed OpenCMS and can create jsp and text files; however, when I
try to edit any html file within OpenCMS, I get a http 500 error with the
following message:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.apache.xerces.dom.CoreDocumentImpl.getEncoding()Ljava/lang/String;

Tomcat spits this out:

If someone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate
it.
