SAX can't parse it because it's HTML, not XML. (<br> alone is valid HTML.) You should be able to determine whether it is HTML or XML in your client by examining the content type header. Is restlet not setting that header correctly? If you want to provide XML-formatted error responses, I believe you'll have to implement them yourself.
