[#12836] - Could not initialize class com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.SchemaGrammar

I have been dealing with this issue in PRODUCTION while creating a report...Please note suhc issue is not seen in my local or staging environment. AS of now, I had to disable creating a jasper report in production.

Any help in this regard would be helpful.
