You probably have a parser in the classpath of the servlet engine like Sun's
Project X (xml.jar) that is affecting things, and is being loaded before the
parser you are using (probably xerces.jar). Try this:

In TOMCAT_HOME/lib (or your servlet's lib dir), rename parser.jar to
z_parser.jar and jaxp.jar to z_jaxp.jar. Tomcat loads everything in lib
automatically, by name, so by doing this xerces (X) will be loaded before
z_parser.jar (Z), and things should work fine.
