You shouldn't have to do anything special. Did you restart tomcat after  
moving the jar files? You shouldn't have to change your app's  
Server.ClassPath[] (unless it has relative path names in it).

When is this exception being thrown?

No (I haven't noticed problems related to this, but also have not  
tested much). The tomcat class-loader how-to  
(http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader- 
howto.html) recommends placing alternate xml parsers into your app's  
WEB-INF/lib/directory...you shouldn't have to touch the xerces.jar in  
common/.
