First off i'd recommend not using jaxp.jar any more and if you're using xerces then use either xmlParserAPIs.jar or xml-apis.jar from xml.apache.org. The former comes with Xerces and the latter is available seperately and comes with Xalan.
xmlParserAPIs.jar = the parser part of JAXP xml-apis.jar = all of JAXP Basically JAXP has a way of configuring which parser to use via the META-INF/services/ mechanism. My guess is that the jaxp.jar contains the configuration for crimson. As described in the javadoc http://dom4j.org/javadoc/org/dom4j/io/SAXReader.html you can set the 'org.dom4j.verbose' system property to be "true" to see more detailed logging of why JAXP can't find a valid XML parser.
