I should have said designed against the servlet spec of which the 4.x 
series was the reference platform -- that was your justification in 
previous posts for why OpenCms does not work on some other servlet 
containers.

As David would have noticed, had he read the archived posts, the issue 
is mostly related to the Xerces implementation, right? And there exist 
at least two patches for it -- both which do the same thing. However, I 
don't know of anyone who has gotten Tomcat 5 to work without tweaking 
code, thus I suggested that he go to a previous version. No point in 
fixing the install only to discover that he will have to reinstall.
