Thanks all

Solution 1 - Google App-Engine

  • MAVEN SOLUTION:

At pom.xml , set "xml-apis" dependency to version 1.4.01:

<dependency>
    <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
    <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.01</version>
</dependency>
  • SOLUTION FOR EVERYONE ELSE:

If not using maven, you can manually add the xml-apis library, version 1.4.01. You will find the jars inside the xml-commons binary package, named "XML Commons External 1.4.01", and you can download it here: http://xerces.apache.org/mirrors.cgi.

Finally, compile and execute your java application/project with this version of the library.

  • Explanation:

The 1.4.01 version of the xml-apis library, includes the required ElementTraversal class. Other versions like 2.0.0, 1.0.0, etc. do not include it, and the application fails while compiling.

Solution 2 - Google App-Engine

There may be some existing issue with the Xerces parser on GAE. See http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1367

Maybe the workaround is to ensure that all of Xerces jars (including xml-apis.jar) are in your WEB-INF/lib.

Solution 3 - Google App-Engine

Your issue can be resolved by updating to version 2.11.0.SP5, which already contains the class ElementTraversal.
