The SaxErrorHandler can, to the best of my knowledge, NOT provide you with the XPath location of the bad element, a quick workaround is to implement a tag tracking Stack in the errorhandler. I build the XPath-expression when the events flow in and when an error occur in an element I peek at the stack and use that as the location. In an conversation with Kohsuke Kawaguchi, the developer, he proposed the following solution: <paste> Umm, I'm not sure if I want to add such a specialized capability into the generic verifier implementation. It seems like the same goal can be achieved by using a SAX XMLFilter. Let's say there is an XMLFilter that tracks XPath. You can set up the pipeline as follows parser --> XPathTracker --> VerifierFilter --> YourHandler XPathTracker and VerifierFilter don't know anything about each other. XPathTracker will update XPath information before it passes an event to the next handler (in this case that's VerifierFilter.) Once an error is reported by VerifierFilter, the error handler can ask XPathTracker about the current XPath, it can then process ValidityViolation with XPath. XPathTracker only need to track element-level XPath. I can update MSV to report more information about attributes (i.e., which attribute went wrong? was it because of the bad value, or the attribute is undeclared?) </paste> > Also, how would you use JARV to implement partial document validation? > For example if you want to validate the user/car-info/model element, but not > necessary the whole user element. With MSV you can verify a single DOM Node and not the entire document. verifier.verify(Node node) should work as well as verifier.verify(Element element) > > BTW, what exactly is the MSV license.
