Problems with SAXParser and getErrorCount

           Summary: Problems with SAXParser and getErrorCount
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 2.4.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Validating Parser (DTD)
        AssignedTo: xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: rjackson@ata-sd.com


Given the following code, I create a SAXParser and call the methods as shown.

DTDValidator *validator = new DTDValidator();
SAXParser saxParser(validator);
saxParser.setValidationScheme(SAXParser::Val_Always);
saxParser.setErrorHandler(&handler);
saxParser.setDTDHandler(&dtdHandler);
saxParser.setDocumentHandler(saxReader);
saxParser.parse(fileName);

if (saxParser.getErrorCount() != 0)
   ThrowException("Invalid format or corrupted file.");

The XML file I am reading in has an embedded DTD within it using the !DOCTYPE 
tag. When I set breakpoints in my custom DTDHandler as well as my custom 
ErrorHandler, the only methods that get called are the standard Reset ones. I 
can purposely make the file invalid by removing tags and no error calls are 
ever made to the ErrorHandler. getErrorCount never returns zero, even for a 
correct file. Is the SAXParser ignoring an embedded DTD or something? I've had 
this problem in both 2.4.0 and 1.6.0. Please advise. Thank you.
