[opencms-dev] Xerces exception with OpenCms 5.0.1

[Alexis Grandemange]

Hello,

I just installed 5.0.1. I used the last 4.1 version of Tomcat which is
4.1.29 and a JDK 1.4.2_03.
It seems that com.opencms.template.CmsXmlXercesParser.getOriginalEncoding
calls a org.apache.xerces.dom.CoreDocumentImpl.getEncoding(String) method
that doesn't exist in the Xerces version packaged with Tomcat 4.1.29.
What do you recommend to circumvent the problem?

Here is the stack trace:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet execution threw an exception
