RE: SAX ErrorHandler errors

Title: Message

It is actually not too bad. As specified by the SAX documentation, the XML 1.0 recommendation is not too bad at listing what is a fatal, an error and a possible warning.

On the warning side, they leave it open to the parser most of the time, meaning that a detailed inspection of the Xerces code for an exact list might be required.

I did check the SAX documentation and I found it not very specific either, that is why I sent the email in the mailing list :-)

But it helps anyway.

Thanks.

Hi Thomas,

I would either consult the documentation for SAX, or ask the question on the Xerces-C dev list.  Fatal errors are usually un-recoverable, and are related to problems with documents that are not well-formed.  Errors are always validation errors.  I'm not sure what warnings are, and the SAX documentation is not very specific:

http://www.saxproject.org/apidoc/org/xml/sax/ErrorHandler.html

Hope that helps!

Dave

If I define a SAX ErrorHandler to be used for my XSLT transformation (XSLTTransformer.setErrorHandler), I can trap 3 different kinds of errors: fatal, error and warning.

Is there a documentation somewhere of what is a fatal, error or warning? A couple of examples to illustrate what I am looking for:

        - if I turn the XML validation on, what validation problems will be mapped to a fatal, error and warning?
        - If any "problems" in the XSLT stylesheet, which ones are fatal, error or warning?

If this is not documented or specified clearly somewhere, any patterns that I can look through the code to build my own list from the source code?

Thanks.

Thomas
