Unable to start server on Mac

Hi
I'm unable to start the server on Snow Leopard, all I get is a window with this message:

"Cannot launch Java application

Uncaught exception in main method:
java.lang.AbstractMethodError:
org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredAttrNSImpl.getTextContent()Ljava/lang/String;"

And a button to quit.

I've tried versions 0.6.0.1 and 0.6.1 with same results.
I can't find any logs, what can I do?
Thanks in advance,

Krater

Im not a mac user but have you got java on your machine and is it upto date?

Hi
This is the version I have:

java - version
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-10M3527)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)

I think Java on Mac auto-updates with the system, am I correct?

I have seen this only 2 times in 2 years but still have no idea what that could be... it's a mising library or a wrong version of a library in Java, but how to fix it ?

Solved!
Just removed an old xerces.jar located in the user.home/Library/Java/Extensions/ folder as stated in:
https://code.google.com/p/alkwarel/issues/detail?id=10

Thanks, one mystery solved

Hello and sorry for dig out this old thread!

I have the same issue here with snow leopard. ive tried it to fix through the serviiowiki but the path described in the wiki has no xerces.jar in the folder extensions

my system is a imac 21,5" version 12,1 in the smallest configuration. Snow leopard and all updates are installed even the possible updates for java on SL.

I hope you can help me!

Nobody who can help?

I am having the same problem, I don't have the xerces file either, these are the have files I have in the library/extensions/java folder

activation.jar
bcmail-jdk15-143.jar
bcprov-jdk15-143.jar
jaxb-api.jar
jaxb-impl.jar
jsr173_1.0_api.jar
KeyStoreBE.jar
log4j-1.2.15.jar
mail.jar
slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.5.8.jar
tools.jar

my error message says

Uncaught exception in main method: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V

any ideas?

[zip]

Remove

slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.5.8.jar

from that folder (or make backup of those)

thanks Zip, that seems to have worked.

thank you very much!!

now I just need to work out the next steps to get it going with my Synology diskstation.

Thanks again!!

Well, I don't know it this is the same thing...
I had Serviio 1.2.1 working perfectly on my mac (Leopard).
But now I upgraded my OsX to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I can't open Serviio anymore !!!
I double click and nothing happens...
If I check home user/Library, I don't see any Java folder...
If I check Serviio "Show Package Contents", there is a Resources / Java Folder with a lot of jar files.

Any suggestion ??

post the log file

Do you mean the content of the Serviio.log file ?
Here it is :

Looks like this problem: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11027

Thanks !
well, actually I just realized that Serviio is running on my TV, though the Serviio icon doesn't appear in the task bar.... that's why I thought it didn't start.
I don't know why it doesn't appear in the task bar like it used to be ...
And how can I quit the app now ? it doesn't even appear in the 'force to quit' window. By turning down the Mac ?

And if I can see all the playlists and contents on TV, I can't play any file. I have those little squares on the top right corner...

So, when I launch Serviio, the icon jumps in the dock then disappear... Is it normal ?
The application seems to run as I can see menus and lists on my TV and the Serviio Console says the server is running.

No way to turn off the app since I can't see it in the dock, nor in the 'Force to Quit' menu....

It seems to have started happening with latest Java update. You can still stop the server via the task menu icon right-click menu.
