From a quick glance at the code, it looks like Digester registers 
itself
as an org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler (it extends
org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler), and that by default it ignores all
sax errors:
    public void error(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException 
{

        log.error("Parse Error at line " + exception.getLineNumber() +
                " column " + exception.getColumnNumber() + ": " +
                exception.getMessage(), exception);
        if (errorHandler != null) {
            errorHandler.error(exception);
        }
    }
yep

Craig/Robert: why does Digester ignore sax errors by default?
(if i was being pendantic, i'd say that strictly speaking digester 
doesn't ignore them so much as only log them ;)

craig would be the one to give a definite answer on this one but here 
how i see it:

the default behaviour for SAX parsers is to ignore errors. digester 
simply extends this behaviour to provide better diagnostics. i do agree 
that it's a more than a little unintuitive. maybe we could provide a 
boolean flag to allow the user to select the behaviour they want.
