Help resolving NoSuchMethodError

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I'm trying to write some JUnit (3.8.1) tests using Maven (1.1, can't
upgrade now), and Java 1.5. In my Maven dependency list, I have

<dependency>
<groupId>xalan</groupId>
<artifactId>xalan</artifactId>
<version>2.7.0</version>
</dependency>

And when I run my test, it dies with ...

org.apache.xpath.compiler.FunctionTable.installFunction(Ljava/lang/
String;Ljava/lang/ClassI
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.apache.xpath.compiler.FunctionTable.installFunction(Ljava/lang/

Somehow an older version of the xalan method is getting called (from
an earlier version than 2.7) but I can't figure out where in my system
it is getting loaded. I have done a search in my system for all xalan
jar files and I can't find any in my classpath. What advice do you
have for troubleshooting this problem and finding out how the old
classes are getting loaded?

Thanks, - Dave

it looks like you don't have some jar library.
Check all your jars if there is such an method

System.out.println(org.apache.xpath.compiler.FunctionTable.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource());

somewhere in the code.
