documentlistener with invokelater goes infinite loop

I have a Jpanel with textfield. I am using documentListener to save the changes as the user types in the text field. User can type between 1-1000, if he types anything else, there would be a error message pop-up. Now, I am using invokeLater, but that causes the infinite loop, if the user enters >1000. How can I fix this.

mMaxLabelLength = new JTextField();
mMaxLabelLength.getDocument().addDocumentListener(this);
@Override
public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent arg0)
{
}

@Override
public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent arg0)
{
    saveActions();
    mMaxLabelLength.requestFocus();

}

@Override
public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent arg0)
{
    saveActions();
    mMaxLabelLength.requestFocus();
}
private boolean saveActions()
{
    // get text
    String strValue = mMaxLabelLength.getText();

    // validate: must be positive integer between 1-1000;
    boolean bSaveIt = true;
    try
    {
        int nValue = Integer.parseInt(strValue);
        if (nValue < 1 || nValue > 1000)
            bSaveIt = false;
    }
    catch (NumberFormatException ne)
    {
        bSaveIt = false;
    }

    // save data to properties if valid
    if (bSaveIt)
    {
        //do something
    }
    else
    {
        // error message
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Please enter an integer value between 1 and 1000.", "Invalid Entry", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
                SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
        {
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                                    int nMaxLabel = getMaxPieLabel();
                mMaxLabelLength.setText(new Integer(nMaxLabel).toString());
            }
        });
        return false;
    }
    setVisible(true);
    return true;
}

It's not really the domain of responsibility for the DocumentListener to modify the state of the Document or to interact with the UI.

Instead, you should probably be using a DocumentFilter, which will allow you to catch the invalid state before its commit to the Document and a custom event notification to alert interested parties that a violation has occurred, for example...
