Hi I am getting following exception while appending child node to the element.

The exception comes only in JRE 1.5 i have tested the code and with JRE 6 Its working fine.

has anybody got the same issue like this before. It seems like there is some issue with JRE 1.5 because the code program works fine with JRE 6

And if its an issue with JRE how can i fix it ?

I have search for the Class com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.DocumentImpl And i have figured out that its in
