This suggests that another option is to simply leave xerces (and possibly
xalan) out of the mmbase web-app deployment.
It simply uses the XML parser that TomCat makes available, which is probably
fine.

I did some testing, but this is not working. The version of xerces MMBase uses and the one Tomcat is using, aren't compatible and that's a pity.

Tomcat isn't distributing a Xalan-version, so you have to stick to the one provided by the MMBase-distro.

I prefer this solution over forcing an XML parser onto all other webapps
that may be deployed.

I also prefer this solution, but I don't think we can fix this before the 1.6.0 release. Better option would be to remove all xerces-references and only use jaxp1.1, so people can use the xml-parser they want as long as it's jaxp1.1 compatible.
