No such method error when starting OC4J 1.3 Developer's Preview

Question

Hi,
Having run 1.0.2.2.1 successfully I've now installed OC4J 1.3 Developer's Preview version. When I start up the server (java -jar oc4j.jar) I get the following error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
at org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocumentBuilder.startDTD(XmlDocumentBuilder.java:615)
at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.maybeDoctypeDecl(Parser2.java:1131)
I'm executing the commmand from the same directory as oc4j.jar and have the CLASSPATH set as follows:
E:\Oracle\iSuites\j2ee\home\ejb.jar;
E:\Oracle\iSuites\j2ee\home\jndi.jar;
E:\Oracle\iSuites\j2ee\home\oc4j.jar;
e:\oracle\isuites\j2ee\home\crimson.jar
Any ideas ?
Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
As far as I know, there is no "OC4J 1.3 Developer's Preview" version;
there is a "9.0.3 Developer's Preview Version". However, I would suggest
using the "9.0.2 Production Version" (also available for download from the Technet web site: http://technet.oracle.com)
Also, you need to be using JDK 1.3.1 with that version of OC4J.
You can find information on how to run OC4J in "debug" mode from the
Atlassian web site:
http://www.atlassian.com
and on the OrionSupport web site:
http://www.orionsupport.com
You can also try using the "verbosity" flag, as in:
java -jar oc4j.jar -verbosity 10
(10 is the highest value for "verbosity")
Good Luck,
Avi.
