Re: webapps do not start with JDK1.4

A little more information on the problem although I still haven't got to 
the bottom of it.

When the webapps are deployed, tomcat's digester throws an exception. 
The cause of the exception can be found in the /logs directory. This 
lead me to an interesting article at:

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13282

To summarise, it states that there is a bug in xerces 2.2.x versions 
which only manifests itself with struts1.0.2.

They suggest several work arounds:

1) use struts 1.1 which they claim has a fix for this problem (I haven't 
tried this option yet, too large a download :-)

2) use xerces 2.1.0 or ealier. This didn't work for me as tomcat 4.1.18 
actually comes with this 2.1.0 anyway!

3) Try a newer release of xercesImpl.jar which should have a fix to this 
problem. I tried a nightly build from a few days ago which didn't work 
for me.

Could you try this out and see if you have better luck. I think our best 
option may be to try with struts 1.1 as long as it doesn't mean changes 
to any code.
