Hello, srinivasareddynr!

Are you able to go through the code in debug mode, if so, can you point out the line the occurs?

Sorry for your troubles by the way...

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and below is the code I am using.....

DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
domFactory.setNamespaceAware(true); // never forget this!
DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(AdvisorXmlPath);
System.out.println(doc.getElementsByTagName("rec") .getLength());
XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
XPath xpath = factory.newXPath();
String expr = "English/rec[@id='" + rs1.getInt("hit_id") + "']";
Object result = xpath.evaluate(expr, doc, XPathConstants.NODE);
Node nodes = (Node) result;
hit_name = nodes.getAttributes().getNamedItem("name").getNode Value();

And when i try to run this code, it stopes at....

XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
Can you please help me solve the problem... Thanks....

NoClassDef is a missing class issue. Either you do not have the package that contains the javax/xml/xpath/XPathFactory class or it's not added to the project's classpath.

Thanks for the reply, but i have a different problem here.... when I try the same code in a standalone java application it is working but when I use the same code in a servlet is throws the above error.... Thanks....

You don't have a different problem: if your stand alone application can run that
class it means that the jvm can find the class. The jvm that runs your servlet
can't find that class so you should fix that, i.e. stick the corresponding jar where
it belongs in the context of the jvm that runs your servlets. IOW, it's a class and/or
classpath problem just as the other poster pointed out.

kind regards,

Jos
