Hello Tommy,

I've seen this error message before. It doesn't come from Xerces but it
does exist in the Crimson message properties. I'm pretty sure you're
picking up a version of Crimson from the JDK. With JDK 1.4 adding a
version of Xerces to your classpath doesn't override the one which came
with the JDK. Have a look at the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism
[1]. It describes how you can override the parser included with the JDK.

Hope that helps.
