Yep, known issue. Try using the previous version of Xerces-2.x.x. The newest one doesn't seem to play well with Digester.

Hi, I'm trying to connect Tomcat-4.1.12 with Apache 2.0.43 (mod_jk), my JDK is 1.3.1_02 (latest stable version on my platform SGI IRIX 6.5). Everything is installed and configured (it's been really hard on IRIX), I think I'm very close to the end, but I still have a problem:When I start Tomcat, catalina.out shows this error: [ERROR] Digester - -Parse Fatal Error at line 93 column 9: The string "--" is not permitted within comments. <org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The string "--" is not permitted within comments.> Catalina.start: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Stopping after fatal error: The string "--" is not permitted within comments. org.xml.sax.SAXException: Stopping after fatal error: The string "--" is not permitted within comments. at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.reportError(XMLParser.java:1245, Compiled Code) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner.reportFatalXMLError(XMLDocume ntScanner.java:570, Compiled Code) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner.scanComment(XMLDocumentScanne r.java:1894, Compiled Code) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner$ContentDispatcher.dispatch(XM LDocumentScanner.java:1121, Compiled Code) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner.parseSome(XMLDocumentScanner. java:381, Compiled Code) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:1098, Compiled Code) at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.parse(Digester.java:1495, Compiled Code) I've read in the mail archives that this bug can be solved using a different version of Xerces. I've replaced "jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12/common/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar" with: xercesImpl.jar (included with Tomcat 4.1.14) xercesImpl.jar (Xerces 2.0.0) xercesImpl.jar (Xerces 2.2.0) xerces.jar (included with Tomcat 4.0.6 = Xerces 1.4.4) but I always get the same error. I'm sure this is the only xerces library installed in my system (it's not included in JDK1.3.1). Which Xerces version shoud I use? Is there any other workarround to this problem?
