Got it! Now this is interesting... I'm playing around with an applet that parses a XML file residing on the server. That's where the javax.xml.parsers.documentbuilderfactory path element comes from. The XML file and the applets JAR archive are currently stored in the app's root folder $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp. I'm still trying to figure out why this strange request is sent to the server: the plugin on the client pc loads all classes from the JAR and starts the applet. The applet requests a DOM parser from javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory. This *should* through the client JRE (plugin) and not affect the server at all. UNLESS I would have packed the javax.xml.parsers package into my applet's JAR - which I did not. ????
