TestLink integration for test automation (Java, XML-RPC, Eclipse) - testing

I am currently writting Java Program to execute tests and push the results on a testlink. I am using TestLink 1.9.14 and following site like :
http://ursshivy.blogspot.fr/2014/03/selenium-automation-testlink-api.html.
So I would like to do :
TestLinkAPIClient apiClient = new TestLinkAPIClient(ACCESS_KEY,TESTLINK_SERVER_URL);
apiClient.reportTestCaseResult(TESTLINK_PROJECT_NAME, TESTLINK_TESTPLAN_NAME,testCaseID, BUILD_RELEASE_NAME, executionNotes, result);
With theses packages :
testlink-api-client-2.0.jar
commons-logging-1.1.jar
junit.jar
ws-commons-util-1.0.2.jar
xmlrpc-client-3.1.jar
xmlrpc-client-3.1-sources.jar
xmlrpc-common-3.1.jar
xmlrpc-common-3.1-sources.jar
TestLink seems to be not really available (API for exemple, so I tried already 3 different version of the API).
I google for a long time and tried something. So I tried to modify the xml-rpc file in the TestLink folder, I tried different .JAR and another version of TestLink (1.9.12). For the moment, I get this message :
Exception in thread "main" testlink.api.java.client.TestLinkAPIException: The call to the xml-rpc client failed.

TestNG setup issue- Cannot find class in classpath

I am pretty new to TestNG framework. I did download TestNG from the link http://beust.com/eclipse. Post this I created a new Java Project named as MyProject and a new TestNG class file "NewTest". I did write a small piece of Code with #Test annotation to launch Firefox browser and navigate to Google. I tried searching the web for possible solutions to sort this issue but I am not able to find the low level steps on how this can be corrected. Please help.

Move Package1 inside src directory and run the code.
Note: Eclipse run .java files from src directory, and create .class files in bin directory.
It seems that I did not update my Eclipse for few months. I did navigate to Eclipse->Help->Check for updates->Completed installing all updates. Post this the test did run fine.

Getting Exception: java.lang.SecurityException: attempted to open sandboxed jar as Trusted-Only

I am not sure about this error. I have signed Jar 3-4 times after getting this error but I am getting same error again again.
Please can anybody help me if I am doing something wrong?
Check your Manifest.mf file of jar. This should contain the Trusted-Library: true if you are using MixedCode(Applet called from the javascript) and your files are self signed. oracle has released latest security updates in Java 7 update 21. According to the release notes you must sign your code with CA certificates only, else JRE will treat your code as malicious. oracle is totally deprecating the Mixedcode. Please check the release notes of latest updates. But before adding the attribute Trusted-Library: true in manifest.mf make sure you are aware of the effects of the attribute.

commons-digester fails to load my class when deploying in glassfish 3.1.2

I recently faced the below issue:
1) My application is an enterprise application. It is built on JAVA 1.5. Deployed in glassfish 2.1 and it is working fine.
Now we find it necessary to migrate from JAVA 1.5 to JAVA 1.6 and also from GLASSFISH 2.1 to GLASSFISH 3.1.2.
Now, when trying this migration problem arises.
During our application startup, using commons-digester we parse an XML config file and save it to an object. With glassfish 2.1, in both JAVA 1.5 and JAVA 1.6 digester parsing is happening fine.
But when doing the same in glassfish 3.1.2, we are getting the following error during application startup:
The following log file is from application log:

Jenkins slave throws "Classloading from system classloader disabled" exception

When running a Maven2 job on a slave instance (Master on AIX 5.3; slave on Windows 2008(R2)), I get the following message (complete stack trace pasted in below): "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Classloading from system classloader disabled". This happens with the first job after the slave instance is started (it's running as a Windows service). After that, I get a "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class hudson.maven.MavenModuleSetBuild" error.
If I create a freestyle job, and include the maven command as a batch command to run on the slave, it works fine. The Maven2 job appears to locate Maven on the slave machine, but it apparently can't find the maven-plugin (probably due to the classloading error).
I've searched and posted a ticket to the jenkins-ci site, but no luck as of yet. Has anyone run into this problem?
Stacktrace:

I had similar issue. Researched internet but did not get any solution. Finally debugged the jenkins/hudson and resolved this issue.
The root cause of this error is that recent versions of jenkin is shipped with xml parser within jenkins.war file. Looks like if your server already has this jar file, it won't let jenkin application to reload its own version of xml parsers. So to resolve this issue I have removed file xercesImpl-2.9.1.jar from WEB-INF/lib directory of jenkins.war file. After that replaced existing war file and restarted server. And it worked as without any problem.
