I spoke too soon. It turns out I didn't really test with JDK 1.4. When I do, it works fine. I also found a thread about this exact problem in the archives (I *had* looked, searching for "XMLReaderImpl", but apparently the search function only looks at the Subject), where Shawn suggest that it's a JDK 1.3 problem. Was 1.0.1 supposed to solve the problem, or do we have to use the solution presented in README for older Tomcat versions also for JDK 1.3?
