ParserException Error after deploying antiSamy

Question

I'm using antiSami with my ColdFusion project. I'm loading antiSami through onApplicationStart() like this:

local.jarsArray =
[
    expandPath("lib/antisami/antisamy-1.4.4.jar")
];
application.antiSamiPolicyPath = expandPath("lib/antisami/antisamy-slashdot-1.4.4.xml");

application.javaLoader = createObject("lib.javaloader.JavaLoader").init(local.jarsArray);
application.antiSami = application.javaLoader.create("org.owasp.validator.html.AntiSamy").init();

I can see the antiSami object if I dump application.antiSami. However, once I add the following line:

local.result = application.antiSami.scan("some text", application.antiSamiPolicyPath);

I get this generic browser 500 message:

Server Error, HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

Under the hood, I found this error through CFBuilder:

"Error","web-4","06/14/11","15:27:04","80BBF6B60584F6D148A7DC2A12007C03","org/apache/batik/css/parser/ParseException The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\gamers\index.cfm, line: 25 "

Any ideas what this error is all about?

It turns out using AntiSamy requires a certain number of dependencies: batik-css.jar, batik-util.jar, nekohtml.jar, and xerceslmpl.jar. Once those are loaded, antiSamy should work fine, and it does.
