I am still trying to understand what I did :-)) > Sure it makes sense. If you want to terminate parsing as soon as you come across a single validity error, then what you've coded will work okay. Throwing a SAXParseException from one of the event handlers is the only way to terminate a SAX parse. The thrown exception will be propagated up to the caller of XMLReader.parse(), where it can be reported to the user. On the other hand, if you want to report all the validity errors in a document, you cannot throw an exception from the error handler. In this case your ErrorHandler.error() method will typically do the following:- - report the error (perhaps to System.err) - update a flag to indicate the document is invalid The "invalid" flag can then be tested by the code that calls XMLReader.parse(). Hope this helps. ~Rob
