I suspect that it really is related to your XML parser ... this looks
suspiciously like a bug in earlier versions of Xerces. It turned out that
one of our Struts DTDs had a comment line longer than 80 characters, but
caused Xerces to output a totally bogus error just like this, pointing at
a place totally unrelated to where the problem really was.
Note that, if you're using JDK 1.4, simply putting Xerces 2.4 into your
classpath does *not* replace the use of the built-in parser. You have to
put it in the "endorsed standards" directory ($JAVA_HOME/jre/endorsed I
*think* -- it's in the JDK docs), or use a system property to declare the
directory containing this JAR to be your endorsed directory.
To use an updated parser in Tomcat 4.1 or later, put it in
$CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed.
