You must disable the catching of a
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException 
in your VisualCafe Debugger Configuration. 
Some parsers (xerces included) uses this exception instead of testing
the end of an array 
and IDE's debugger are configured to catch/debug this exception. 
If you look at the source on Xerces  you can see that this exception is
correctly catched.
