Hi Ragu, Thanks for the reply, but javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser is the default jaxp parser. I'm trying to use the Xerces parser which is in org.xml.xerces.parsers.SAXParser. The java code mentioned below works fine when I run the code outside tomcat 4.0.1. It's just not working under Tomcat, which makes me think I have a class loader problem. However, I've move the xercesImpl.jar file into the webapps/<application>/WEB-INF/lib directory and can't get this to work.
