Gads, I just realized that the sourcecode for parts of JAXP aren't
even included in the JDK 1.5 src.zip - how annoying. I was trying to
re-engineer the offending classes to use the new SAX API, but I can't
find the sourcecode for
com.sun.beans.ObjectHandler! I wonder why it's so separate from the
rest of the src.zip.

I have, and like the originally quoted message I am quoting, I zeroed
in on some code which is in JAXP, which calls the damned
XMLParserFactory. I didn't write the MochaJournal code either, I
wonder if the MochaJournal code did something to the SAXParserFactory
so that it returns wrongly-typed parsers?

What's strange is that I can call XMLParserFactory.newInstance myself
and it doesn't throw that exception. It's only when it gets called
from JAXP that I run into this situation.

What version of xerces is included in JDK 1.5?
