> I was trying to parse a XML Document using DOM Parser.
> I got null pointer exception while executing doc = builder.parse(xmlDataFile);
> There were few entities in the XML data file. On removing a particular entity, i was able to parse the file successfully
> The entity was some thing like this
> <!ENTITY SAMPLE.TIF SYSTEM "SAMPLE.TIF" NDATA TIF>
> What could be the reason?
> EDIT:
> Here is the code:
>         DocumentBuilderFactory aFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
>         aFactory.setValidating(false);
>         aFactory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces", false);
>         aFactory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", false);
>         aFactory.setIgnoringComments(true);
>         builder = aFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
>         doc = builder.parse(xmlDataFile);
