Did you set an Error handler ?
If Nno, you have to set an eror handler exactly like in the Xerces Samples
"dom.parsers.DOMParser"

hope this helps..

Objet :   Confused with validation


Hi all,

I just begin with Xerces, and after skimmed thru the FAQ and Docs,
and write some code snippet for experiments, I still can't figure out
what validation actually means in Xerces.

In my testing codes, I turned on the validation features, both
http://xml.org/sax/features/validation and
http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/dynamic,
but seems I can still have any arbitrary elements in my XML
file, without defining them in the DTD. (Not test with schema yet)
I know the parser really parsed the DTD, I see the default
attributes, normalization, entity substitution, etc.

Look forward to your precious pointers.

Thanks in advance.
Kenneth
