Hello Shibboleth community,

My name is Rick and I am working on Meteor 4.0 for the National Student Clearinghouse. We are in the process of building support for Shibboleth into Meteor 4.0. So far I have built an IdP v2.3.3 and installed the SP v2.3.4 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I deployed the WAR into a Tomcat 7.0 server and got the stacktrace below on startup. After looking into the contents of the lib dir in the WAR it appeared that the Xerces jars from the 'endorsed' folder were not built into the jar so I stuffed them into the lib dir manually and tried starting Tomcat again, but I got the same error. Has anyone seen this issue before or have an idea of what Xerces jars/versions I should be using besides the ones provided with your IdP build / download?

Any help or insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Also, thanks for posting the users group entries from the past, that was very helpful in getting this far, as was the extensive WIKI material...

Regards, Rick
