FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_01-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_01-b03, mixed mode)


FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
  OS : RH Linux 7.3
  Kernel: 2.4.18-10


ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS :
  Probably affects all platforms that use RPM installs.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JDK 1.4 lacks provides for: jaxp_parser_impl and
xml-commons-apis.

These are required to install TC 4.1.19. I don't see any
reason to download/install additional bloat when this
functionality is already provided. I, as well as many
others (I'm sure), would be most grateful for the "provides"
being added.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.Install the above JDK via RPM
2.Install log4j via RPM
3.Install commons-logging via RPM
4.Attempt to install Tomcat 4.1.19 (beta 2) via RPM


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
No dependency errors (other than commons-logging, which
obviously you shouldn't include in the JDK).

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
error: failed dependencies:
       jaxp_parser_impl is needed by tomcat4-4.1.9-le.1jpp
       xml-commons-apis is needed by tomcat4-4.1.9-le.1jpp


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
This is an installation issue - not a "my app is busted" issue.
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Install the necessary additional (unnecessary) RPMs.
