NullPointerException while reading XML file using StreamSource - jaxb

Question

I want to parse an XML from middle( Leaving the root node and processing from second node onwards). The code which i have written is
JAXBContent jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[]{Src.Fapmgr_Diag_Summary.class});
XMLInputFactory xif = XMLInputFactory.newFactory();
StreamSource xml_reader = new StreamSource("C:/Users/Ner/Desktop/Analysis/FAPMgrDiagnosticsSummary_apply_20140723112656.xml");
XMLStreamReader xsr = xif.createXMLStreamReader(xml_reader);
System.out.println(xsr.nextTag);
But I am getting NullpointerException. The variable - "xml_reader" is containing NULL as may be it is not able to read the XML. What is wrong with it? Any wrong way of mentioning the location of file?
The error-stacktrace is
java.lang.NullPointerException
