To: Yoav Shapira, Nikola Milutinovic, Ralph Einfeldt:

  Your pertinent comments led me to the right solution. I first tried
adding xerces.jar to the ...\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16\common\lib directory,
but the problem remained. I then threw away JDK 1.3.0 and replaced it by
JDK 1.3.1_03, and everything worked fine.
  Thanks for your help.
