setFeature is a standard method, and even if the feature isn't supported, it
should catch the error and just ignore it. I don't know why you'd be getting
that exception. Not to mention, every version of Xerces I know of supports
that feature.

BTW, the endorsed folder in the opensaml archive means nothing. Copying
anything there will have no effect whatsoever. It's there to document what
jars need to be endorsed on older JVMs.

I suspect the problem might be that *you're* endorsing an out of date Xerces
or something, but it wouldn't be in that directory. I don't know if JBoss
has its own endorsed folder like Tomcat though.
