Advisories for OGSA-DAI R5

The following advisories have been issued:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError

The following error message will be logged:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access field
org.apache.xpath.compiler.FunctionTable.m_functions from class
org.apache.xml.security.Init at
org.globus.ogsa.impl.security.authentication.wssec.WSSecurityEngine.
(WSSecurityEngine.java:57)

This exception is probably caused by an incompatibility between the version of the xalan.jar shipped with the Globus Toolkit 3.2.x distribution and particular versions of the Java JDK. Some builds of Java version 1.4.2_05 and Java 1.5 are known to cause this error. Versions of the Java 1.4 JDK up to and including 1.4.2_04 are known to be okay.

Switching to an earlier Java version should solve this problem or you can use the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism to install a newer version of Xalan. For more information on this bug take a look at the OGSA-DAI R6 User Documentation FAQ.
