Alex:
Thank you - you've hit it precisely on the head.
When I use the JAXP API as you suggested and pass the
altered personal-schema.xml document to it, I get a
SAXParseException, as I should. I DON'T get the
exception unless I set an ErrorHandler that throws it.
This ran counter to my intuition.
When I pass the same document to an Apache DOMParser
with the namespaces, dynamic, and validation features
turned on and the same ErrorHandler as the JAXP
instance the document is parsed and validated without
complaint.
In my opinion, it shouldn't be absolutely necessary to
use the JAXP API to accomplish this. I should be able
to use the Apache parser directly to accomplish the
same thing. (I'd say that JAXP is using the Apache
parser implementation behind the scenes.)
So my question remains - what am I leaving out from
the Apache parser that prevents it from catching this
invalid document? Thanks again, Alex. - 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>
