I have seen this before when running Tomcat on Windows when I have not had the XML parsing jars anywhere on my path. Either install and use a 1.4.1 JVM, setting JAVA_HOME appropriately, or (I think) it should be sufficient to get the right XML parsing jars in your tomcat common\endorsed directory, or on the default classpath.
I know that two of the jars are xercesImpl.jar, and xmlParserAPIs.jar. With those two Tomcat 5 still doesn't start for me, it looks like it needs some javax.xml.transform classes. It looks like that is taken care of in jaxp-api.jar, from the Java XML pack. Tomcat 4 doesn't need all three though, I think, only the first two.
