In the line marked with "<--" I'm doing this:

Code: Select all

WordDocument doc = new WordDocument(array); //creates a docx

I exactly to the same think in a test project and there were no problems so far.
I included the same docx4j jar Files in both projects. What could cause this error?

fyi: I'm using Tomcat 7 and Java 7

Best regards
Sandra

I've never had that problem with tomcat, provided of course that docx4j is in WEB-INF/lib

What should be in the WEB-INF/lib the jar Files?

I copied the files to my tomcat/lib directory and already added them to my build path, is there more I have to do?

For a webapp, generally the jars should be in that webapp's WEB-INF/lib dir (not tomcat/lib, and not on the path you use to start tomcat).

Put docx4j and all its dependencies in your webapp's WEB-INF/lib dir.

Generally you'll want your build process (eg maven or ant) to create a war file which does this for you.

All this is general tomcat knowledge, not in any way specific to docx4j

I found the problem. I don't know why, but there was one jar missing in my tomcat directory.

You don't need to do that if you put them in the tomcat/lib directory. Especially if you use the jar's for more than one project...

Anyway, thanks for your help very much!
