[jdom-interest] JDOM and TOMCAT

[Adam Leggett]

Brett,

Is a possible solution to use another parser (which one?) with JDOM.
Can I just plug in another and go ?
Would I need to remove Xerces from my classpath?
Does JDOM look for Xerces by default ?

Sorry for any inane questions , I am a (relatively) newbie Java developer but keen to learn!

Adam
