Strange Error While running Google APIs through Java Application

[Andy]

Can anyone help ??? - I built a simple java application (in
JDeveloper) that calls the GoogleAPIDemo class to perform a search.
It works fine when I do this through the command line (as in the
example code), but when I try it though my interface, I always get the
same error, which is:

Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.String
org.w3c.dom.Nod.getNamespaceURI()

.... and then a load of what look to be a trace of method calls.

Can anyone help? I am using JDeveloper and the java version is
JDK1.2.2.

Thanks in advance!

Andy

Perhaps you can post the stack trace here?

Update ***
I have it working now but here was the problem...

My error came from using an older java compiler, probably version 1.2.
I upgraded to version 1.4 and everything runs fine.

I hope this is of some use
thanks
