XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[luca passani <passani AT eunet.no>]

Elliotte,

I fixed temporarily this problem by miving the Xerces files

xercesImpl.jar
xercesSamples.jar
xml-apis.jar
xmlParserAPIs.jar

from here:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\wurfl\WEB-INF\lib

to here:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\common\lib

Any idea why this does the trick?
this is really a workaround, since it does not allow me to distribute my 
libraries as
a .war file for example.

thank you

luca
