Hi, when using the DOMConfigurator it is not possible to programmatically detect any problems accessing the file. Reason: the various variants of doConfigure() catch the IOException themselves, log an error message, but do not re-throw the IOException again. Could this please be changed? Thanks! -- Best regards Rainer Klute Dipl.-Inform.
