This error sometimes happens when using Weblogic as your application server.

Symptoms

During startup of Magnolia exception is being thrown when Magnolia tries to parse configuration files.

<If you ever get this please contribute the excerpt of the stacktrace here>

Solution

There are two kinds of possible solutions:

- Change your JVM from Weblogic's default JRocket to Sun JVM

or

- Add JAXP (and possibly other xml parsing libraries) related jars to the weblogic classpath so they are available at weblogic startup. In this case it doesn't help to add those to your web application, they have to be at weblogic startup classpath.
