+XML parsers in Tomcat 4.0
+=========================
+
+ In the tomcat-4.0 build procedure, an XML parser is required for three
+ different components:
+
+ 1. ant
+ See ant specific requirements for an XML parser
+ 2. catalina
+ At least JAXP1.0 compliant XML parser
+ 3. jasper
+ At least JAXP1.1 compliant XML parser
+
+ All of these requirements can be handled globally by setting
+ environment variable JAXP_HOME (as described above).
+
+ The default jar files used for XML parsing are then:
+ JAXP_HOME/jaxp.jar and JAXP_HOME/crimson.jar
+
+ * To change the 'XML parser' jar file used:
+
+ JAXP_PARSER_JAR [default: crimson.jar]
+ (e.g. xerces.jar)
+
+ * To set the XML parser of each component individually:
+
+ ANT_XML_CLASSPATH [default: JAXP_HOME/JAXP_PARSER_JAR;JAXP_HOME/jaxp.jar]
+
+ CATALINA_JAXP_HOME [default: JAXP_HOME]
+ CATALINA_JAXP_PARSER_JAR [default: JAXP_PARSER_JAR]
+
+ JASPER_JAXP_HOME [default: JAXP_HOME]
+ JASPER_JAXP_PARSER_JAR [default: JAXP_PARSER_JAR]
