Hi,
 Can someone please tell me what workaround can I use since this is a blocker in my application as end users are not able to post anything on the website

Hi All,
  I fixed this issue by just replacing the dependent jars with the latest ones and it disappeared, this issue can be marked closed.

Use these jars as dependencies for antisamy.jar(1.5) 

xercesImpl.jar, 
xml-apis.jar
nekohtml.jar
sac.jar 
commons-httpclient-3.1.jar

Batik 1.7: batik-css.jar, batik-util.jar, xml-apis-ext.jar

How are/were you managing dependencies?  Were you getting this exception using 
the jars specified in the pom.xml?
