If you haven't solved this, here are the things I would try. * Check that the that the Validation files seem like valid XML. A quick way to do that is to open them in IE.
* Deploy the MailReader example to the same environment, to be sure its validation works. * Deploy your application to another container, like Jetty, to see if the same type of error occurs there, and/or deploy the application to Tomcat on another machine. * If the MailReader example is working, I'd add my components to that example, to see if I can get them working along side something know to work. If it still doesn't work, I'd create a WAR that contains just this files, and post back here with a link to the WAR so other people could try it.
