david, > I already include xml-apis-1.3.03.jar in the WAR's WEB-INF/lib-directory.
are you saying that the jar containing the said class is in your WEB-INF/lib-directory already and you get that NullPointer? On which OS are you running? Is it possible, that you have set an environment-variable like JAVA_ENDORSED? This overwrites the default XML-handling In your logs, is there a root-cause for that exception you posted? If all that doesn't give you a clue, start Tomcat in JPDA-mode, connect remotely with your Eclipse-debugger and set a breakpoint at com.myorg.myapp.ws.notification.impl.BufferedSubscriptionManager.publish(BufferedSubscriptionManager.java:73) Then check the variables which are null but ought to be set, maybe that gives you a figure.
