This is actually the correct behaviour: xerces should only be loaded
if it is endorsed, and merely being in the classpath should have no
effect.  Check this test case with Sun or IBM java:

  import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
  public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable{
      DocumentBuilderFactory f = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
      f.setAttribute("bad_attribute", "hello");
    }
  }
	    
You can't just print the DocumentBuilderFactory here because Sun and
IBM both use xerces internally, but causing an exception lets you see
the line numbers and figure out where it's loading from:

  mambo:[~]$ ibmjava Test
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: bad_attribute
          at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.setAttribute(Unknown Source)
          at Test.main(Test.java:7)

  mambo:[~]$ ibmjava -cp /usr/share/java/xerces-j2.jar:. Test
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: bad_attribute
          at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.setAttribute(Unknown Source)
          at Test.main(Test.java:7)

  mambo:[~]$ ibmjava -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/var/lib/tomcat5/common/endorsed Test
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Property 'bad_attribute' is not recognized.
          at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.setAttribute(DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.java:112)
          at Test.main(Test.java:7)

Just being in the classpath has the same behaviour as not being there
at all.  gcj had the correct behaviour before the service files were
removed.
