The ServiceManager.<init> code, in your 2.2 download directory
/soap-2_2/src/org/apache/soap/server/ServiceManager.java
has line 83

You might be messed up by a stray copy of parser.jar or crimson.jar;
Look for jars anywhere that contain the string DocumentBuilderFactory
(I wouldn't worry much about copies of jaxp.jar or xalan.jar, but on
this machine I have six parser.jar and 4 crimson.jar, as well as 13 xerces.jar
just for luck. It's easy to lose track.)
Did you try running the cp.jsp and (more relevantly, since testit.sh depends on
the command-line settings) the cp.java I sent? It does try to test precisely
this, looking for your DocumentBuilder class as loaded by XMLParserUtils...
