Description Daniel C. Amadei 2004-07-01 21:20:14 UTC 
When using the Xerces (2.3.0) version that ships with JSTL 1.0.5 with JDK 
1.3.1.07 I'm getting the error bellow:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
	at 
org.apache.xml.serialize.IndentPrinter.breakLineIndentPrinter.java:281). 

when trying to serialize a XML Document. I know this bug is related more to 
Xerces than to JSTL but I think the version of Xerces that ships with JSTL 
could be changed or a recompilation of it could be done.

Please refer to bug 17027 that shows a possible "workaround".

Daniel

1.1.x doesn't depend on Xerces, and I don't think we'll be seeing another 1.0.x
release anytime soon.

Leaving open as an FYI until a FAQ is written.

Added a FAQ for this issue over at the JSTL wiki.
Comment 3 Henri Yandell 2007-10-25 22:33:10 UTC 
Bjorn's FAQ is currently at:

http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-taglibs/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-939511c352fc8ae3fbcb331e8a8fdb317c08999b

Resolving this as WONTFIX because I don't see us fixing this.
