Possible causes:

1. version problem of the JDKs. Check the version of xerces.jar.

2. different Java (JRE) versions on the two machines (the developer-machine had 1.6 and the target-machine only 1.5)

Solution:

1.make sure the very first line in config or web.xml should not be blank. The contents should start with the very first line.

2. Compile project with JRE version equals to target-machine.
