Thanks Pete! I will give that a shot. I am using Sun's JDK1.3.1 under
Redhat 7.1 (sorry, forget to mention my setup!).
I did, however, run across a post detailing a problem similar to mine. The
suggested solution was to set the TOMCAT_OPTS environment variable
to -classic. After setting this environment variable, everything ran
nicely. If anyone can give me any more detail on either solution, that
would be great. I hate to implement a fix but not know the root cause.
Pete, your explanation seems plausable. I'd be interested in knowing if
this is a known JVM bug or a Xerces bug?
