In do see several problems in your code, the biggest of which is that 
you're using SAXParser and SAXParserFactory and making the same mistake 
almost everyone who uses them makes. Not your fault, though. they're 
poorly designed and virtually guaranteed to be used incorrectly. Just 
use XMLReader and XMLReaderFactory instead and those mistake will take 
care of themselves.

The specific problem you're having may or may not be related to that, 
but it looks like a failure to supply an ErrorHandler, so validation is 
likely being performed, but no error messages are reported.
