Having XML parser/XSLT conflicts is a known issue in Tomcat 3.2. I believe the saxon.jar would need to go in TOMCAT_HOME/lib. If Tomcat won't start, perhaps a more compatible XML parser that the current xerces.jar could be found. If not, I think you are out of luck with Tomcat 3.2.x. Without knowing the startup problem, I can't say for sure.
You will likely have better luck with Tomcat 3.3 or 4.0.1. New classloader handling allows "server" classes to be hidden from web applications. In Tomcat 3.3, the default behavior is try to detect if a web application has its own XML parser. If found, Tomcat 3.3 keeps its crimson.jar and xalan.jar hidden from that web application. If not found, crimson.jar and xalan.jar are included in the web application's classloader. This behavior is configurable should Tomcat 3.3 not detect saxon.jar as an XML parser. Tomcat 4.0.x implements the new feature in the Servlet 2.3 spec where classes in the web application's class loader are used before classes in parent classloaders. This should also fix your problem. Hope this helps.
