Don't ever put endorsed libraries in WEB-INF/lib, even under JDk1.3.1. Just take the one from CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed. It is usually the most up-to-date anyway and you can always put your own version there. Putting the xml parser in WEB-INF/lib will only cause you problems.

Hello: I've have a doubt about using xerces.jar in Tomcat 4.1.27. Suppose I'm using JDK 1.3.1, with xerces.jar put in WEB-INF\lib, and Tomcat default installation. xerces-jar's classes are used when they are required.
I've read carefully the document in http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html
My doubt is related to the topic "J2SE classses and extensions": if I use
JDK 1.4.1, xerces.jar's classes won't be loaded from web-inf libraries, because
they are part of JDK libraries (this is different for JDK 1.3.1).
Could someane confirm this.
In default Tomcat installation, they will be loaded instead from common endorsed jar directory.
Thanks in advance.
