Hi, I think in this case the problem is IBM JDK 6, it seems it does not provide some XML functionality that it should have according to the Java Spec, IBM JDK 7 seems to work. See http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/poi-user/201501.mbox/%3CCABdJj54D5ioQtu=Agj-aeoR7PgLfcM53+czwfcc-=6aeSEtp=w...@mail.gmail.com%3E for a related discussion.
As we now saw similar errors multiple times and there are a number of different things that can cause this, I have now created a FAQ entry at http://poi.apache.org/faq.html#faq-N1017E (should appear during the next website publish) which tries to describe these different reasons and provides hints how to resolve them. Please update/enhance the FAQ if necessary. Thanks... Dominik.
