There is nothing wrong with the tag. It's just the value of the element that 
is wrong. So, it's perfectly correct that a SAXParseException is thrown. But 
I expect the SAXParseException after the startElement event.
Anyway, my main problem is that i would like to compose a user-friendly 
error. Therefore, the SAXParseException.getMessage() could provide me one. 
But that message is not user-friendly. So the other possibility is to get 
the element's name when the SAXParseException occurs. Then I could return a 
message that something is wrong with the value of a particular element. The 
last possibility is to define a custom error message in the xsd which is 
validating my xml. But unfortunately, I read on the internet that that is 
not possible (yet).

So, any suggestion or help is welcome! I find it very difficult to believe 
that it's not possible to return a user-friendly message.

greetings,

Bart
