Define "crash". I doubt very much it crashes. Java programs rarely do. I 
suspect it's throwing an exception because it's detected a well-formedness 
error in your document.

The @ sign is a little unusual. Is that really a character that's giving you 
problems? By any chance does it immediately follow a non-ASCII character?

And is your document actually written in UTF-8? If it's not, that would explain 
the problem.

The encoding you declare must match the encoding you actually use. You can't 
change one without changing the other.
