mysterious parse exception on startup
If I put the latest xerces and xalan in tomcat/common/endorsed, I get the following error
on startup. I don't get this with the xerces/xalan that comes with jdk 1.4.1. What is
causing this? What *file* is this?

It's a know problem with recent versions of Xerces and Struts 1.0. It is
a Xerces bug (which gies a confusing error message).
To fix it, you can:
- use the JDK 1.4 parser
- use the Xerces release bundled with Tomcat 4.1.18
- upgrade to Struts 1.1 beta 3 (the XML is different, and doesn't
trigger the Xerces bug)

It isn't server.xml. In fact I validate all xml files under my tomcat and webapps
directories, and none of them have a problem. Perhaps it is dynamically generated xml
inside the tomcat admin app?
org.apache.webapp.admin.ApplicationServlet.init(ApplicationServlet.java:152) is in the
stack trace.
