Make sure you can recognize Java configuration errors.

The error message:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.w3c.dom.Node: method getLocalName()Ljava/lang/String; not found

usually indicates that you are executing with a different version 
of a class than that with which you compiled

(Specifically, org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl.importNode(...)
was compiled against a version of org.w3c.dom.Node that had method 
getLocalName(java.lang.String), but it's currently running with a 
version of org.w3c.dom.Node that does not define that method.)

Check your class path and your Jar files.  You're probably running
with a DOM Level 1 version of the the DOM classes instead of a DOM
Level 2 version (like maybe from older vs. newer release of Xerces).

(Namespace support was added between Level 1 and Level 2.)
