Noel Grandin commented on PIVOT-536:
------------------------------------

As near as I can tell, all you need is an API to access 

   xmlStreamReader.getLocation()

which will give you  the position of the parser at the time of the error.

Is this sufficient?


> WTKXSerializer should provide a structure error object when a serializer 
> error occurs

> When an error occurs in the serializer, logException() is typically called. 
> The error message, line number and other information is typically not 
> available for use by tooling.  WTKXSerializer should provide a structured 
> object with the error information in it e.g. the line number.
> I don't have a patch for this but I think a simple error object and a 
> property accessor would be all that's needed. The error object could be 
> accessed as part of exception handling.
> I came across when writing pivotpad (xamlpad like tool) and wanted to 
> highlight the error in the bxml text.
> This improvement is  targeted towards tooling support and has no other 
> apparent use.
