Hi,
there is probably something wrong in the classpath of your project.

Maybe you have inlcuded two different dom4j libraries or you are using the wrong version when the application is deployed.

Hi,
In my application I'm using only one dom4j library dom4j-1.6.1.jar. When I'm removing this from my classpath I'm getting
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/DocumentException

If you are deploying your application on a container you should check that the version of the library on the container is the same as the one that you are including in your application.

I cannot think of any other cause for this issue with the information you have provided.
