java.lang.VerifyError

I am using Xerces XML parsers in my project. When I try to invoke a code from the Servlet which Parses an XML document, I get the following the following error:
/03 15:02:08:965 EDT] 367ea673 WebGroup X Servlet Error-[CDMServlet]: Failed to load servlet: java.lang.VerifyError: (class: com/hsbc/cdm/users/User, method: loadDefaultPermissions signature: (Ljava/lang/String V) Incompatible object argument for method call

This is the code:
DOMParser myParser = new DOMParser();
myParser.parse(permission_file_path);
Document doc= myParser.getDocument();
.....
I think it blows up on the 3rd line when it tries to create an instance of Document.
Any idea as to whats going on...
