ant-deploy not loading xercesImpl library correctly

[brendon-stephens]

The ant-deploy task references the xercesImpl library for use in the DPDirectTask class.

	<path id="dpdirect.class.path">
		<pathelement location="${dpdirect.dir}/dpdirect-1.0.5.jar"/>
		<pathelement location="${dpdirect.dir}/lib/xercesImpl.jar"/>
		<pathelement location="${dpdirect.dir}/lib/log4j.jar"/>
		<pathelement location="${dpdirect.dir}/lib/xml-apis.jar"/>
	</path>

When running the deploy.bat file - I get a class not found error:

[dpDeploy] 2019-09-07 20:37:45,065 ERROR org.dpdirect.dpmgmt.DPDirectBase - org.apache.xerces.dom.DOMXSImplementationSourceImpl [dpDeploy] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.xerces.dom.DOMXSImplementationSourceImpl [dpDeploy] at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381) [dpDeploy] at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:424) [dpDeploy] at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357) [dpDeploy] at org.w3c.dom.bootstrap.DOMImplementationRegistry.newInstance(DOMImplementationRegistry.java:182) [dpDeploy] at org.dpdirect.schema.SchemaLoader.<init>(SchemaLoader.java:139) ...

It appears that the library is not correctly loading into the class path.

I am able to fix the problem by manually copying the xercesImpl.jar file into my %ANT_HOME%/lib folder.

Any ideas?

Note: There is currently an ant-task xerces issue running under any ant version above 1.8.0.
Until the issue is resolved, Please copy dpdirect/lib/xercesImpl.jar into your ant-[version]/lib folder.
Or, alternatively, run the ant-task with the ant 1.8.0 distribution.
