I wrote an app that uses XPath to query some XML config files. When I run it in eclipse, it works just fine. I also wrote an ant target that runs the application. However, The app gives me a runtime exception when running it from ant. The exception says:
XPathFactory#newInstance failed to create an XPathFactory for the default object model: http://java.sun.com/jaxp.xpath/dom
I’m using JDK 1.6, which is supposed to have already an implementation for XPath. Is there something I’m missing?
Edit 1: Adding the complete stack trace gotten from ANT. I’m using 1.5 compliance.

Add the attribute
fork="true"to your java task in the ant script so that your class is run in a new java virtual machine. It’s likely that something in ant is conflicting with the XML libraries built in to the JDK.
