I kept looking around for solutions of my problem and came across this statement in axis' wiki: http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?AxisProjectPages/XMLParsers
Actually, this isn't really what I was looking for because this sounds pretty much like either I use Xerces or it won't work! Additionally, I'm not so familiar with the class loading mechanism. It seems like AXIS is always using Xerces that can be found in ../tomcat/common/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar! Even if I wanted to use another XML parser implementation it would be conflicting with Xerces - or can I deactivate Xerces? I'd appreciate any comment on this.
