Message: [QUOTE="Andreas Leitgeb, post: 5018574"] Your experiments and conclusions make sense, but classes in "com.sun.*" packages are not intended to be used in apps in the first place (and even less so, if they have ".internal." in their path), so maybe there's even some explicit trick in Java, that prevents these classes from being visible to foreign code, when rt.jar is loaded as initial library. By symlinking (on Linux) you may have outsmarted that mechanism, but you're walking on very thin ice. You will most likely run into difficulties later, maybe during any oncoming patchlevel-update of your jdk, where package com.sun.xml.internal.fastinfoset.stax might just disappear with all the classes previously inside it - without even a mention in release-notes or migration-guides. So, to fix your problem, go find a class in a package under "java" or "javax" that provides a *public* interface to the functionality of StAXDocumentParser that you really need. (If I knew the correct class, I'd have mentioned it, but I rarely do xml-stuff, so others more into it hopefully will step in here.) [/QUOTE]
