Hmmm, This may be a bug then, because I am not getting the encapsulated 
SAX Exception. I am working with tomcat 4.0.3's default Xerces version. 
I think it is

   * xerces.jar - The Xerces 1.x XML parser (also includes the JAXP 1.1
     interfaces).


probibly version 1.4 but I will doublecheck this shortly.
