IIRC, The tomcat container needs to be started with java.endorsed.dirs system property set to a dir where the xerces parser is available. It uses the endorsed dir mechanism to override the default parser. The server manifest.mf contains an entry Endorsed-Dirs: lib/endorsed which is used by Deamon (read by CommandLineManifest) to set this property before starting Geronimo. It should have been enough, but it seems we have been adding it to the classpath also. I do not know if this property is used by anyone else.
