This might be a classpath issue. I've used the same code and it works. You
can also try bypassing the XMLReaderFactory class, and use the following
call:
XMLReader parser = (XMLReader)
Class.forName("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser").newInstance();
If you get the same exception, my first hunch is some path issue.

Subject: Xerces 2.01 + Tomcat 4.0.1 problem
> Hi, I've looked high and low for documentation on dynamic class loading
for tomcat 4.0.1. Can't seem to find an answer to this problem. I'm trying
to use Xerces-J 2.0.1 parser in a class using the tomcat.
