OK,  I downloaded the latest xalan & xerces, and installed
the jars in the lib/endorsed dir.

I ran the servlet and got:
null:4:80 fo:flow must contain block-level children

Does the endorsed dir get loaded first, or are there some
parsers build into one of the Tomcat core jars that are running instead?

Thanks,  Mike
