I've built a Grails project with POI (include poi-3.7 and poi-ooxml-3.7). I've added these 2 external libraries to dependencies block in BuildConfig.groovy file of my project. There's nothing strange when I compiled it. But when I called the command "run-app" for that project, an error occured with below stacktrace:
Base Directory: <path-to-my-project>

And here is my configuration:
dependencies {
provided ('com.oracle:ojdbc6_g:11.2.0.1.0')
runtime ('org.apache.poi:poi:3.7', 'org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:3.7')
}
How can I do to make solve this? Thank you so much!
Here's the fix we finally came around to after several hours of going back and forth. In short, exclude xmlbeans from poi and create another xmlbeans jar with the offending class removed. Here's the incantation to exorcise the evil linkage error.
dependencies {
compile ('org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:3.6') {excludes "xmlbeans"}
}
Extract xmlbeans
cd ~
mkdir xmlbeantmp
cd xmlbeantmp
cp ~/.ivy2/cache/org.apache.xmlbeans/xmlbeans/jars/xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar .
jar xf xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar
Remove offending class package
cd org
rm -rf w3c/
Recreate the jar
cd ../
rm xmlbean-2.3.0.jar
jar cf xmlbean-2.3.0.jar *
Copy jar into your projects lib
cp xmlbean-2.3.0.jar your_grails_project/lib/.

There's a conflict between one of POI's dependencies (xmlbeans) and grails. You can exclude it as follows:
dependencies {
compile('org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:3.7') { excludes "xmlbeans" }
}
