Please help: Weblogic/Xerces problem

[Scott Carter <sc...@dotsconnect.com>]

I am using Xerces to parse an XML configuration file as Weblogic is
starting.  When Xerces does the parse, it tries to open a connection to my
web server, however, the web server has not started yet so the connection
fails and and naturally, the file doesn't get parsed.  I have turned off all
Xerces properties and features, but it is still happening.  Does anyone know
how to remedy this, or does Xerces just require a web server?
