Now we're getting somewhere!  You must have a different DOM jar in your
classpath.  I know you say you don't and whenever I see that I say, look in
your jre/lib/ext directory.  9 out of ten times you have some jar file there
with DOM and probably other xml related classes.  Delete that jar file so
know exactly which DOM and XML classes are actually being used and let us
know what happens.
