[jdom-interest] Problems using JDOM with JDK1.5.0

[Garey Mills]

Hi -

	I have a servlet using JDOM 1.0, running under Tomcat on Solaris
8. Java is from SDK and is 1.5.0. Tomcat is 5.5.9. It looks like I am
using the Xerces integrated in the JDK, since there is no jre/lib/endorsed
directory and I do not see the java.endorsed.dirs system property being
defined anywhere, except of course in the startup of Tomcat, where the
authors of Tomcat set 

	-Djava.endorsed.dirs=$CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed

	There the only thing that might affect things is a jdom.jar. In
any case, this is the error I keep getting:  


	Parse error: org.jdom.JDOMException: Error in building: SAX2 driver class
	org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserImpl$JAXPSAXParser not found

	It looks like a problem with the Xerces it is finding. Can anyone
shed any light?

Thanks for any help;
