Why do you need a custom XML parser? Why not simply use the one
bundled with the JRE?

Where is the xmlparserv2.jar file? Some badly-behaved libraries
install themselves as the "system" parser when they are used even if
they aren't being loaded by the system or application (which doesn't
mean YOUR application) ClassLoader. If that happens, you can get weird
problems like this.

Package managers often make adjustments that make sense for their
environments. I suspect that this problem has less to do with RedHat's
Tomcat package and more to do with how you deploy your application,
its libraries, etc.

Tomcat sets up a ClassLoader for itself to work in. For each webapp, a
separate ClassLoader is created for them to work in with the Tomcat
server ClassLoader as the parent. But the webapp's ClassLoader is a
"child-first" ClassLoader meaning that classes and libraries bundled
with the application are preferred when code is executing in the
application's context.

If you had told us your Tomcat version (or anything else about your
environment), we might have been able to help more, but you aren't
providing much in the way of information.

Assuming Tomcat 8.0 (because why not?), here is the explanation for
how class loading works in Tomcat. Almost as if someone was /trying/
to make that information available for people looking for it.
