Provider org.apache.crimson.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl not found while migrating the code from Java 1.4 to Java 1.6

I'm trying to migrate my application from Java 1.4 to Java 1.6 but encountered with the following error when running on Java 1.6. Note that the error doesnt oocur while running the code on Java 1.4 / Java 1.5

javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError:
    Provider org.apache.crimson.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl not found
    at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.newInstance(Unknown Source)

Any idea why is it giving me this error? It seems to be referring to crimson.jar which is obviously not present but why is it referring to this jar ?

When doing a java migration, take some time to go through the announced compatibility issues.

Your issue is probably documented in above link, relevant notes copied below.

Apache - The org.apache classes, which have never been supported J2SE APIs but are used by the javax.xml package, have moved in 5.0 to com.sun.org.apache. package.internal so that they won't clash with more recent, developer-downloaded versions of the classes. Any applications that depend on the org.apache classes being part of the J2SE release must do one of the following to work in 5.0:

Code the application so it uses only the supported interfaces that are part of JAXP. Download the org.apache.xalan classes from Apache.

For more information, see bug 4740355.
