Im running linux rhel 5 as a VM with no GUI.

The following error(s) occurred:

• Configuring the database failed. Couldn't create the database schema.
• Error creating bean with name 'xhtmlMailContentProcessor' defined in class path resource [applicationContext.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'xhtmlXslTransformer' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'xhtmlXslTransformer' defined in class path resource [renderingContext.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [com.atlassian.confluence.xml.XhtmlXalanXslTransformer]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.newInstance(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/ClassLoader;)Ljavax/xml/transform/TransformerFactory;

Thanks for the link Harry. Mine is windows environment and Tomcat was installed using the installer version. It has xml-apis.jar, which seem to have javax/xml/transform/TransformerFactory. Once I deleted it from the 'endorsed' folder, the issue went away.

Hi Vality and sudheer,

Did you install Tomcat from RPM? If so that might be the problem. Refer to the knowledgebase article in https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Installation+or+Upgrade+of+Confluence+4.0+EAR-WAR+Fails+on+Red+Hat+or+CentOS for a fix.

Cheers, Harry.

I am also running into the same issue. Trying to install

Confluence 4.2.13 on tomcat5.

tomcat5.exe was running with JDK1.6.0_04, which is listed as compatible version.

JAVA_HOME was also set to JDK1.6.0_04.

Any ideas?

Hi Vitally,

I suspect that the JDK you are using for Confluence is not compatible/supported. See supported JDK (Oracle) at http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Supported+Platforms (assuming you are using Confluence 4.1 at the moment)
