Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hi Friends,

I have come to the point where I just don't know what to do now. I am trying to extract text from a word document using the POI from apache. When I run the program locally there is no issue at all. However, when I try to run it on through a servlet I get the above error. I have read somewhere else that this might have something to do JRE, etc.

All help will be highly appreciated.

Here is the stack trace of the issue:
