I've just downloaded struts (the binary version) and am trying to get the
struts-example to run. After reading the install guide my understanding is
that struts should work with any XML parser. If I run the example with
jaxp.jar and crimson.jar in WEB-INF/lib it loads OK. But, if I replace those
jars with xerces.jar (verison 1.4.1) I get the following exception.
This is TC4 release BTW
It seems like there is a dependency on crimson (judging by the class name).
Does the binary version only work with crimson or is there a config option
somewhere?
