[jdom-interest] File lockup with invalid did

[Jason Long]

I am using the following to read files.

  public Document getJDOMFromFile(File file)
      throws JDOMException,
      NullPointerException, IOException {
    Document docJDOM = null;
    try {
      SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
      docJDOM = builder.build(file);
    }
    catch (JDOMException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
      throw new JDOMException("Broken JDOM", e);
    }
    catch (NullPointerException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
      throw new NullPointerException("Broken JDOM");
    }
    return docJDOM;
  }

The client needs to edit the dtd, and send it by ftp.
The only thing defined in the dtd entities.
When an entity is not defined an error is throw, but the file is then
locked.
How can I read in a file and release it if there are errors?
