Albert,

I finally was able to reproduce what you and Larry H. were talking about... 
don't know why I couldn't get that error.  Replace the Xerces included in 
CATALINA_HOME/common/lib with that included in the WEB-INF/lib.  [You'll 
want to replace xerces.jar with both xercesImpl.jar as well as 
xmlAPIs.jar].  That should do it.

I'm working on a solution to the problem since obviously 
DocumentBuilderFactory is picking up partially the commons/lib xerces, and 
partially the WEB-INF/lib xerces.  When I get a solution we'll post an RC-2 
since this error will significantly block Expresso from being able to work 
with other Containers.
