How do I use the endorsed standard mechanism to use xerces in a GlassFish 4.0 WAR application? According to the documentation*, you should put it into domain-dir/lib/endorsed. However, when I put xercesImpl, xml-apis as well as xml-resolver there, the classes are not available from my classes in the WAR. This is most proabably due to an inconsistency between the docs and the default config: the domain.xml does not list domain-dir/lib/endorsed.
When I include it or put the files into glassfish-install-dir/lib/endorsed, the startup fails with the following exception:

How do I fix this? downloading the Woodstox StAX parser into lib/endorsed as suggested in this answer did not work.

* That's the documentation for GlassFish 3, but it's exactly the same in the documentation for GlassFish 4, which I only found as PDF
