How to solve the exception when parsing xml string in java?

I want to parse the xml string. This is my java code:

public Document loadXMLFromString(String xml) throws Exception
    {
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
        InputSource is = new InputSource(new StringReader(xml));
        return  builder.parse(is);
    }

But when parsing , I met this exception:

[Fatal Error] nitf-3-3.dtd:1:3: The markup declarations contained or pointed to by the document type declaration must be well-formed.

I can't figure out why this exception occurred. I think it may involve the "nitf". Can anybody help me?

This is my xml string:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE nitf SYSTEM "http://www.nitf.org/IPTC/NITF/3.3/specification/dtd/nitf-3-3.dtd">

you can parse the xml, without removed DOCTYPE by using custom EntityResolver as below:

documentBuilder.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver(){ 
    public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId){ 
        return new InputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(new byte[0])); 
    } 
});
