[jdom-interest] Xerces

[Ian Lea]

Probably a mismatch between versions of xerces and/or other parser
stuff in the classpath.  Try putting the xerces.jar that came with
JDOM in the tomcat/lib directory (as opposed to WEB-INF/lib) and
make sure that you don't have other parser stuff floating around
in extensions directory or anywhere else.

May also need to lose tomcat/lib/jaxp.jar.
