[IPT] Troubles with IPT

[Tim Robertson]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for posting the detailed description of the error - it really  
helps us in debugging!

Could I please ask you to look around the tomcat directories (but not  
the tomcat5/webapps) for xml-apis.jar or xalan.jar ?

specifically, please look in:

.../tomcat5/shared/..  (including subfolders such as endorsed and lib  
if they are present)
../tomcat5/common/..

If you find them, please try removing them and restarting tomcat.   
Please consider moving them so you can recover to the current state if  
need be.

Some versions of tomcat incorrectly ship with these libraries - for  
example on the RedHat version we use on some servers we have to remove  
these Jars.

Many thanks,

Tim
