Closed as returned (APAR cannot be resolved without additional info from IBM or customer.)

Error description
Java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
Is received when a portlet application
creates custom taglibs and needs to use another
xml parser (crimson parser) instead of the one
shipped with websphere.  The crimson parser is packaged within
the portlet application war  web-inf/lib.

Is received when a portlet application
 creates custom taglibs and needs to use another
  xml parser (crimson parser) instead of the one
  shipped with websphere.  The crimson parser is packaged within
  the portlet application war  web-inf/lib.

 The JSP processor is trying to use the crimson parser to
 load the tag library descriptors.  Instead of the xerces parser
 gets bundled with websphere.
Local fix Problem summary Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments
APAR was opened because the original customer problem
description was similar to an issue that was corrected
in WebSphere 5.0. WebSphere support was unable to
reproduce the problem in the test lab and requested
customer to apply the latest WebSphere fixpack and
Portal Server fixpack.  Once these two fixpacks were
applied in customer's test environment, the problem could
not be reproduced.  If the problem symptom is seen, work
with support to get the appropriate documentation for a new
APAR.
