[aspectj-users] ClassCastException using JAVA_OPTS="-javaagent:lib/aspec

["Laurent Perez" <hakimm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I'm using aspectjweaver from aspectj1.5.2a to enable load-time-weaving
of spring2.0rc2 beans inside my webapp, hosted under tomcat5.5.17.

Whenever I set this environment variable in catalina.sh, I get the
following exception on webapp startup :

warning parse definitions failed -- (ClassCastException) org.apache.xerces.jaxp.
SAXParserFactoryImpl

I do believe the weaver isn't happy with my xerces/xml-apis jars,
unfortunately I don't know which version to use to get rid of the
casting exception.
Jars version I use are : xercesImpl-2.8.0.jar, xml-apis-1.3.02.jar,
jdk is 1.5.0_08.

Does aspectj require a specific version of them ?

Thanks!
