[Opensource] DBTool error: xerces in Tomcat4.0.3/common/lib

[larry hamel]

Hi Mike,

Regarding the xerces issue: I mentioned this in a message earlier

        http://mail.jcorporate.com/pipermail/opensource/2002-September/011725.html

Since Tomcat 4.0.x includes xerces.jar, it seems to be in the path for all Web applications. 

Tomcat 4.1.10 has the xercesImpl.jar that appears to match the latest expresso.

Larry
