error in bulding a document from an xml file using SAX builder

hello i m using new jdom1.1. I wanted to build a document from an existing
xml file, by giving its string path to SAX builder's build method.

Document doc;
String xmlfile = "c:\\tmp\\foo.xml";
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
builder.setValidation(true);
builder.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
     try{       
         doc = builder.build(new StringReader(xmlfile));           
     } catch (JDOMException e) {  
          System.out.println("Error in building JDOM file");
     } catch (IOException e) {
          System.out.println("Error in building JDOM file");
     }

unfortunately, i got a JDOMException here. what do you think about the
reason?

regards.
