It means exactly what it says, it couldn't find the class org.dom4j.DocumentException. Most likely, your classpath is incorrect.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Hibernate using proxy objects to represent the persistent entities. So in essence, if you checked the class type for an entity x, you may get something like x_javassist_1334 because Hibernate wraps your object to add some persistence specific functionality. I would do a simple check and print out the classname for the object you're invoking the method on before proceeding any further.
