JCS and Spring: Unable to validate using XSD...

Working on a servlet project that uses spring and I wanted to add caching using Apache JCS, but as soon as I added the maven dependency I started getting this exception:

In the source for javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() it lets you specify the DocumentBuilderFactory implementation with a VM define, like this (using the implementation from the source):

        #> java -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl Tester

Now this work fine, but I don't want to have to set up a define in the servlet container so I kept looking. I replaced the JCS dependency:

        
            jcs
            jcs
            1.3
        

with:

        
            jcs
            jcs
            1.3
            
                
                    xerces
                    xerces
                
                
                    xml-apis
                    xml-apis
                
            
        
 
        
            xerces
            xercesImpl
            2.10.0
        
        
            xml-apis
            xml-apis
            1.4.01
        

And it now works without having to set a VM define.
