|
|
* <p>If a SAX application needs to implement customized error
|
20 |
|
|
* handling, it must implement this interface and then register an
|
21 |
|
|
* instance with the XML reader using the
|
22 |
|
|
* {@link org.xml.sax.XMLReader#setErrorHandler setErrorHandler}
|
23 |
|
|
* method. The parser will then report all errors and warnings
|
24 |
|
|
* through this interface.</p>
|
25 |
|
|
*
|
26 |
|
|
* <p><strong>WARNING:</strong> If an application does <em>not</em>
|
27 |
|
|
* register an ErrorHandler, XML parsing errors will go unreported,
|
28 |
|
|
* except that <em>SAXParseException</em>s will be thrown for fatal errors.
|
29 |
|
|
* In order to detect validity errors, an ErrorHandler that does something
|
30 |
|
|
* with {@link #error error()} calls must be registered.</p>
|
31 |
|
|
*
|
32 |
|
|
* <p>For XML processing errors, a SAX driver must use this interface
|
33 |
|
|
* in preference to throwing an exception: it is up to the application
|
34 |
|
|
* to decide whether to throw an exception for different types of
|
35 |
|
|
* errors and warnings. Note, however, that there is no requirement that
|
36 |
|
|
* the parser continue to report additional errors after a call to
|
37 |
|
|
* {@link #fatalError fatalError}. In other words, a SAX driver class
|
38 |
|
|
* may throw an exception after reporting any fatalError.
|
39 |
|
|
* Also parsers may throw appropriate exceptions for non-XML errors.
|
40 |
|
|
* For example, {@link XMLReader#parse XMLReader.parse()} would throw
|
41 |
|
|
* an IOException for errors accessing entities or the document.</p>
