Title: [XML] Problem with IBM RAD 6 & WebSphere 6

Hi,

I'm using castor to load XML-based configuration files into a WebSphere 6 custom service and a stand-alone Java app.
Under RAD / WAS 6.0.0, all works fine but when running under RAD 6.0.1 and WAS 6.0.2.9, I get the following error:

Parsing Error : Content is not allowed in prolog.
Line : 1
Column : 1
{file: [not available]; line: 1; column: 1}
        at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Unmarshaller.java:707)
        at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Unmarshaller.java:563)
        at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Unmarshaller.java:784)

        at com.ubs.ims.appserver.imp.ImpServer.run(ImpServer.java:57)
        at com.ubs.ims.appserver.imp.ImpServer.main(ImpServer.java:50)

The XML is very simple, and I've validated it using various XML editors:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<impconfig>
        <discoveryFile>c:/temp/discovery.xml</discoveryFile>
        <pollPeriod>5</pollPeriod>
        <discoveryPeriod>5</discoveryPeriod>
        <jmxNamespace>IMP</jmxNamespace>
        <httpPort>33000</httpPort>
        <soapPort>33001</soapPort>
        <soapContextRoot>IMP</soapContextRoot>
</impconfig>

I assume that this is because IBM have included a newer release of xerces in the JRE included in the later releases of RAD / WAS.

If I include the xerces supplied with castor, it doesn't get used because the JRE version is included in the boot classpath.

Now, I don't want to risk causing something else to break in WAS by overriding the version of xerces that WAS uses, and (because I'm not running as a web app) I don't have access to the WAS facilities for defining additional class loaders.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might get this working?
