XML DocumentBuilderFactory error after upgrade from 3.0.0 to 3.1.0

[eballetbaz]

After upgrading from 3.0.0 to 3.1.0, I have a blocking error:

javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl not found

When running with -Djaxp.debug=true we can see the difference :

Version 3.1.0:

[INFO] --- exec:3.1.0:java (default-cli) @ pdp-database ---
JAXP: find factoryId =javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
JAXP: loaded from fallback value: org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl

Version 3.0.0:

[INFO] --- exec:3.0.0:java (default-cli) @ pdp-database ---
JAXP: find factoryId =javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
JAXP: loaded from fallback value: com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
JAXP: created new instance of class com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl using ClassLoader: null

Full error stack with version 3.1.0

can you provide a simple project to reproduce your issue?

I have also seen this and I have made a small project here: https://github.com/pedro-w/foptest/tree/main

If I run mvn clean package exec:java I get

using exec:3.1.1:java but no error if I change the plugin in the POM to 3.0.0.

I'm using:

> mvn --version

Hello,

We are seeing the same problem while using log4j, the system throws an exception on the line LogManager.getContext(false);:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.setFeature(java.lang.String, boolean)'

Tested with apache maven 3.9.6 and exec-maven-plugin 3.1.0, 3.1.1 and 3.2.0 on JDK21. We used log4j 2.23.0 and slf4j 2.0.12.

[pedro-w]

@ctabin is that the same problem actually? (I genuinely don't know)

[ctabin]

@pedro-w It is also related to the DocumentBuilderFactory so it probably is related somehow, it might just be another consequence of the disease 😵‍💫
