The name says it all, Alex: it's a parser that parses
an XML document and creates a DOM tree.
Your DocumentBuilder is probably using one behind the
scenes to do the same thing.
The only difference is that you're
DocumentBuilderFactory uses methods like
setNamespaceAware() and setValidating() instead of the
XML-Apache setFeature() method on the DOMParser class
itself. I'll try that and see if it makes a
difference.
Thanks for the suggestion - anything helps. What I'm
doing now is obviously wrong, because I'm not failing
when I parse invalid documents! - MOD

I use the following method to parse the document:<br>
<br>
DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();<br>
docFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);<br>
docFactory.setValidating(true);<br>
try {<br>
docBuilder_ =
docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();<br>
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e)
{<br>
}<br>
Document doc =
docBuilder_.parse(f);<br>
<br>
Shouldn't enabling validation here work?<br>
<br>
It definitely does something because I don't get the
"grammar not found" error when validation is set to
false.<br>
<br>
Also, the validation "feature" has "sax" in the
feature name. I would think that means it's a
SAX specific feature.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
