Tomcat relies on a JAXP/1.1 or later XML parser in four places:
* Parsing server.xml
* Parsing web.xml
* Parsing tag library descriptor files (TLD)
* Parsing JSP pages that are in the XML syntax
So, there must be an XML parser visible to the internal classes. This can
be put in either common/lib (if web applications also need it), or in
server/lib. The release notes document (in the top level directory of the
distribution) talks more about your options for using different XML
parsers.
