Weblogic 10.3.0.0 deployment problem

Question

Hi All,
Im trying to deploy a hibernate application i.e app1.war file on Weblogic 10.3.0.0 and it shows following error on console while deploying(Please have a look at the bottom section which contains exception details captured from log file) :
Error An error occurred during activation of changes, please see the log for details.
Error Failed to load webapp: 'app1.war'
Error org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
The org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl problem, i.e it point is to the DocumentBuilder file --
org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl cannot be cast to javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
The jar file i have in my app is 'xerces-2.6.2' & the jar present in the weblogic is of version 2.8.1 i guess..
When i remove the xerces-2.6.2.jar from my application the war gets deployed but webapp wasnt working properly as the jar required was removed.
Later i tried adding the weblogic versioned xercesImpl.jar file but still couldnt crack the issue.
I also tried adding the following in the weblogic-application.xml file of META-INF folder :
<weblogic-application xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>org.apache.xerces.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.apache.oro.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.apache.commons.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.apache.log4j.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.apache.axis.transport.http.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.jdom.xpath.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>
</weblogic-application>
Before this exception i was getting the antlr.jar file problems(i.e queries werent executing.. stopped @ first query itself)... so i added the following in the weblogic.xml file located under WEB-INF folder to make it work :
<weblogic-web-app>
<container-descriptor>
<prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
</container-descriptor>
</weblogic-web-app>
Error occurring due to antlr.jar file :
{"message":"system failure: SQL: 'select currencyCode from OprationalLocation where code = ? and domainCode=?'","success":false}

Can anyone guide me this issue, how should i deploy my app with the required changes so that my app works seamlessly with the libraries provided in the /lib folder?
Any kind of help would be priceless!

Hi Mohtashim,
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory","new-factory");
In this case The Property will be set at the System level ...means the JVM level where this code get executed will be effected...and if any other application is running on that JVM ..then that application also will be affected by this property.
So For Application specific setting please use:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<weblogic-application xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application/1.0/weblogic-application.xsd" xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application">
<xml>
<parser-factory>
<saxparser-factory>YourParserFactory</saxparser-factory>
<document-builder-factory>weblogic.xml.jaxp.WebLogicDocumentBuilderFactory</document-builder-factory>
<transformer-factory>YourTransformerFactory</transformer-factory>
</parser-factory>
</xml>
</weblogic-application>
