Product rawhide, component xerces-j should be there.  I've filed bugs against
servletapi this week

This looks like a thinko in the %preun

+ f=/usr/lib/xerces-j/lib-org-w3c-dom.so
+ '[' -L /usr/lib/xerces-j/lib-org-w3c-dom.so ']'
+ rm -f /usr/lib/xerces-j/lib-org-w3c-dom.so
+ f=/usr/lib/xerces-j/lib-org-w3c-dom.so
+ '[' -L /usr/lib/xerces-j/lib-org-w3c-dom.so ']'

Indeed looking at rpm --scripts -q xerces-j the for loop then overriding f
looks suspect, I assume it should be using || : if it doesn't matter 
                                                                                            
for f in lib-org-w3c-dom.so lib-org-xml-sax.so; do
    f=/usr/lib/xerces-j/lib-org-w3c-dom.so
    [ -L $f ] && rm -f $f
done
