> The Digester ignores parsing errors by overriding fatalError(), error() and 
> warning() and just logging the parse exception without throwing it. The default 
> behavior for the HandlerBase fatalError() method is to re-throw the exception 
> so it seems like Digester should re-throw it after it logs it. Extending 
> Digester and overriding those methods to throw exceptions doesn't work because 
> Digester is a "final" class. Digester should throw the parse exception in at 
> least fatalError() so as to act like a normal handler. It should not be a final 
> class so the behaviour can be changed by Digester users. If ignoring the 
> exceptions during the parse is intended, how is one supposed to know that the 
> xml was invalid?
