Can't run very simple DOM parsing source on my machine - please help :(

Question

Hi Guys,
I am trying to run the following very simple program on my machine to parse a very simple XML file.
It just returns Document object NULL.
Same code is working fine on another machine.
Note: there is no silly mistake. i have valid xml file at valid place.
Please help.
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import java.io.*;
class XML
     public static void main(String[] args)
          try{
               String caseFile = "c:\\case-config\\config.xml";
               DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               factory.setValidating(true);
               DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
               Document doc = builder.parse(caseFile);
               System.out.println("\n\n----" + doc);
          }catch(Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
}

You could also work with JDOM, which I find easier to use than regular DOM:
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import java.io.FileReader;
import org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder;
import org.jdom.Document;
String caseFile = "c:/case-config/config.xml";
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new FileReader(caseFile));
SAXBuilder builder= new SAXBuilder();
Document document = builder.build(inputSource);Just an alternate suggestion.
