Class Cast Exception in Xerces setChunkValue

[Vlad Zorinov]

I'm getting the following error after a couple of months of XML processing, using Xerces 2.0.0 in an apache tomcat. Does anyone have any ideas what this problem may be or what I should do to solve it?

cheers,

Vlad

The exception is...

A large number of Class Cast Exception have been resolved in 2.0.2 of which I believe is one. See http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/releases.html for more information. Try upgrading your xerces version and this problem should be resolved.

I shall try this, thanks.
