The first line of your document is probably incorrect.

You probably have a class level attribute for the SAXBuilder ... like this:

public class MyClass {

   private static final SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder();

   public static Document myMethod(String argument) throws Exception {
      ... your functionality with the saxBuilder
   }
}

(If this is the case) just declare and initialize the SAXBuilder within the method and it will be fixed ...
