Output start-line on error

           Summary: Output start-line on error
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.5
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: javax.xml
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: foxyshadis@hotmail.com


Currently, when a document won't parse properly on the command-line transform,
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException is thrown with the uri and line-number
where the exception occured (usually the line where an outer tag was closed). It
would be very helpful indeed if the line where the tag in question was opened
was given.

I don't know if Xerces/Xalan actually stores that line number, though, and if
not it probably wouldn't be worth changing just to add it.

I don't know what the behavior is in servlet, since I haven't tried harnessing
it there.
