XmlPullParserFactory class not found

[mebibou]

Hi Paul,
I tried to create my own ebook from an existing ebook, by modifying stlightly the content to change some text, etc. Now when I try to create it (by doing epubWriter.write(book, new FileOutputStream(file));) I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xmlpull/v1/XmlPullParserFactory

So I tried to add manually a jar for this, com.springsource.org.xmlpull-1.1.4.jar that I found after 30mins of search for a library that would contain the missing classes, but now get this error:
[ERROR] nl.siegmann.epublib.epub.EpubProcessorSupport - When creating XmlSerializer: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: caused by: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: resource not found: /META-INF/services/org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserFactory make sure that parser implementing XmlPull API is available

Where could I get this library? thanks

mebibou, i'm not sure if this helps you but I ran into the same problem and I did the following to fix it. It's probably not the correct solution, but it worked for me.

Replaced the kxml2 dependency in epublib-core with xpp3

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.servicemix.bundles</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xpp3</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.4c_4</version>
</dependency>

I then replaced line 80 of EpubProcessorSupport.java from:
XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
to:
XmlPullParserFactory factory = new org.xmlpull.mxp1.MXParserFactory();

I also commented out line 83:
//result.setFeature("http://xmlpull.org/v1/doc/features.html#indent-output", true);

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I actually managed to resolve the issue by adding the -complete version of the library, i.e. by adding epublib-core-3.0-SNAPSHOT-complete.jar instead of the normal one, and it worked much better. Sorry for not closing the ticket before.

you can build project with maven: ~/Github/epublib/epublib-core$ mvn compile dependency:copy-dependencies package

and it will get dependencies into ./target/dependency folder

you can copy those all in your project.
