I know that Tomcat's docs *say* this and that the JSP & servlet specs call for this but it has not been my experience!
As I have *twice* pointed out here (to no ones acknowledgement), I have an application that runs fine under Tomcat 4.0.? but not under 4.1.12. It fails on objects in xerces.jar. xerces.jar implements SAX1 and I have always included it in my WEB-INF/lib directory thouggh it was in common/lib of Tomcat 4.0. I use Xerces/SAX1 (Xerces 1.4.2) with xalan.jar (Xalan 1.2.2). Tomcat 4.1.12 used SAX2 from xmlParserAPIs.jar in common/endorsed. I am getting failures from Xalan 1 because (evidently) Tomcat is sending objects from here vs. the older Xerces in my WEB-INF/lib directory. Yes, yes, I know that this needs to be updated. However, the Xalan API is radically different. For now, conversion is impossible due to short resources and no few customer complexities.
