Error description

  • Connect db2 from java code in WebSphere Application Server
    and get following exception:
    javax.xml.stream.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider
    javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory could not be instantiated:
    java.util.ServiceConfigurationError:
    javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory: Provider
    com.sun.xml.internal.stream.XMLInputFactoryImpl not a subtype
    at javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory.newFactory(Unknown Source)
    at javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory.newInstance(Unknown
    Source) at
    com.ibm.websphere.product.metadata.im.IMMetadata.setHistoryEvent
    sFromHistoryXml
    
    The root cause might be the default Websphere Application
    Server XmlInputFactory has been redefined somehow, by use of a
    properties file or system property

    ****************************************************************
    The
    com.ibm.websphere.product.metadata.im.IMMetadata.setHistoryEvent
    sFromHistoryXml calls STax to parser Installation Manager
    history.xml. At default, it will use XMLInputFactory
    implemented by IBM Java. However, the default XMLInputFactory
    can be overwritten by users' XMLInputFactory. That's why the
    exception happens.
