noSuchMethodError when using XMLSerializer.serialize()

I had a similar problem and I sent at that time an email to the xerces-dev 
list. The problem was that I compiled Xerces with JDK 1.4 which adds a new 
StringBuffer method: append(StringBugger buffer), so if you compile Xerces with 
JDK 1.4 all the calls to append passing a StringBuffer as parameter will be 
linked to this method which is not present in JDK 1.3. Running the code with 
1.3 will cause the NoSuchMethodError.

You can compile Xerces with JDK 1.3 and everything will be ok (or get ir from 
the site). If you want to use the JDK 1.4 comopiled version then make sure you 
are using it only with JDK 1.4.

A fix in Xerces could be to cast the StringBuffer arguments to Object so the 
append(Object object) method will be used all the time.
