Hi I was using JDK 1.4 and Tomcat 4.0.1 and this seems to be the problem.
Upgrading to Tomcat 4.0.2 solved the problem. We've now decided to move to Tomcat 4.0.6 which also works fien in this case. Can anybody explain what changed between 4.0.1 and 4.0.1 as it's not obvious from the README in each version, which fixes would have repaired this problem.

Please help It looks like you've got a stray XML parser lying around somewhere. My first guess would be $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext, but you should check all of the usual suspects.
