I'm trying to use JAXP and DOM to parse an XML file on the local disk. However, when I try, I am getting a "javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException". This is a local file. I don't understand why anything related to SSL is going on. I've tried this on Windows and Linux. Same result.

Any ideas?

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

File xmlFile = new File("/home/security/test.xml");

Document document = builder.parse(xmlFile);

Does the XML file refer to a DTD that is to be fetched via HTTPS?
