Hi Michael,
Thanks for the quick reply, I had downloaded the code for version 2.0.2 as this is what was embedded within the application I was debugging. When I searched on google I didn't find any reference to this problem so I never though to check the latest version for the fix - doh!
Thanks all the same

Hi Alistair,
You must be using an ancient version of Xerces. This particular problem was fixed way back in 2002.
Try using the latest release (2.9.1) available here: http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/download.cgi.
Thanks.
