Error indicated, no exception thrown

[Ingo Assenmacher <In...@post.rwth-aachen.de>]

Hi!

I use a DOMparser right from the scratch (I use DOMPrint.cpp as a basis for
this).
I installed an error handler, set validation to true and, yes! I do get an
error: For example:

<!ATTLIST property
          name   NMTOKEN                    #IMPLIED>

within my DTD and:

<property Name="text">Please.</property>
which is wrong, since Name starts with an uppercase letter.

This is the code-sequence from DOMPrint.cpp:

    try    {
        parser.parse(xmlFile);    }

    catch (const XMLException& e)    {
        cerr << "An error occured during parsing\n   Message: "
            << DOMString(e.getMessage()) << endl;
        errorsOccured = true;
   }

which I thought would catch this.
This is what I do get as an output:

Error at file "filename", line 23, column 28
   Message: Attribute 'Name' is not declared for element 'property'

But there is no exception thrown up to the top-level, which results in no
exit/error condition and my client works on the partially built tree.
a) why is this? (where did I go wrong?)
b) can I do an check, for example on DOMParser to take a peek if the tree
has been built properly?

Thank you very very much for your response.

Regards, Ingo.

The error went to the error handler. Exceptions are only thrown for
catastrophic failures. Your error handle can keep a count of errors that's
its seen. When you come back from parse(), check that count and see if any
errors occured.
