The jars in Tomcat4 are under common/lib. I replace the xerces.jar with my jaxp.jar to get the newest parsers and stuffs.

So I placed the these JARs under WEB-INF/lib. Is it normal that Tomcat still uses its own version of Xerces (which is 1.x) when my servlet creates a SAXParser? This happens when using Tomcat 4.0.*. (This causes us problems: The way the SAXParser reads the inputStream differs between xerces 1.x and 2.x. In 1.x, when running JDK1.4, the parser waits for all data to be read before calling the DefaultHandler. In Xerces 2, the parser calls the DefaultHandler when the data comes in, which is what we need.) I could go on and on testing many more combinaison of versions for JDK, Xerces, Xalan and Tomcat but so far, the only thing that seems to work for us is: Tomcat 4.0.4-b3-LE-jdk14 jaxp-1.2-ea2 (which contains Xerces 2) JDK 1.4 The reason for this email is mainly to get a confirmation of all this. Does my conclusions make sense? ... standardizing on XML libraries across different third party products is not an easy task...
