There are several prerequisites for building Tomcat from sources -- they are
documented (for Tomcat 4.0 at least) in the "README.txt" file in the top level
directory of the source distribution (CVS repository "jakarta-tomcat-4.0").
In particular, the error you got below is because you need to download and
install the Java API for XML Parsing (JAXP) release. See the readme file for
more details.

PS: All of these steps are required only if you want to build Tomcat from
source. If you just want to run it, download the binary distribution instead --
everything you need (except for a JDK, and the JSSE classes for SSL) is
included.
