Description

Using xerces 2.11 my team constantly run into

"java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: fRecognizedFeatures at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeAwareParserConfiguration.<init>(Unknown Source)"

We had run into this issue before during startup, though we solved that by putting in some JVM variables:
-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl

Now we are seeing this exception while trying to do some xa transactions. My partner and I have tried resolving this but are unable to do so.
