java.lang.AbstractMethodError

[Dario Rehman]

I am getting the following error. If I test the code withou Tomcat everything works. But when I deploy it I get this error. How can I fix it? Thanks.


java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementImpl.getTextContent()Ljava/lang/String;

I suspect that error is due to your code being compiled with a version of the Xerces library that does not match the one being used by Tomcat. Note that Tomcat will not use your environment classpath to find Xerces but uses its own version.

This topic is old, but I try my question

What did you do concretely in Tomcat configuration
