My 'any thoughts' are that it is probably not a classloading issue (unless the issue is that a different Xerces is used), from the exception I would say that sourceElem is definitely a Xerces node. It's simply that sourceElem.getFirstChild is a text-node, not an element. Are you sure sourceElem could not have text-nodes as children (whitespace/ white space between elements can also produce a text node for instance)?
