I'm using IBM WebSphere 3.5 which uses XML4J (ancestor to Xerces-1 I
believe). I ran into a similar problem when I deployed a Jakarta Struts
application, at which point I installed one of the XML release packs from
Sun. I finally got the OpenSAML stuff to work after I copied the four
Xerces/Xalan related jar files from OpenSAML to the "jre/lib/ext" directory
of the JDK.

I've generally used SAX parsing and/or XML data binding frameworks (e.g.
Exolab Castor and Enhydra Zeus) rather than DOM when working with XML, so I
wasn't aware of JAXP not fully supporting the features OpenSAML needs from a
DOM parser.
