So it is an absolute (or recommended) behavior for the error handler to throw an exception to stop the parse? I was hoping that we could let the parse continue (not throwing an exception in the error handler) in order to collect all the error messages and just use a flag to say if any errors occur or not that we check after the parsing to see if it was ok or not. May be I should direct such question to the Xerces mailing list.

I suspect what's happening is the parser is recovering from the error and continuing. The appropriate behavior is for your ErrorHandler to throw some sort of exception to stop the parse.

Actually, we are not throwing an exception from the error handler and this is probably the issue. In 1.3 it seems that we did not have to (compileStylesheet was still returning the appropriate success/failure code), but that was may be already a mistake. We are going to change the code to throw an exception. If the problem is still not fixed, I will open a bug report.

You are throwing an exception from your ErrorHandler, right? This could also be a change in how the parser is handling things. Are you talking about well-formedness errors in the stylesheet, or perhaps XPath errors in stylesheet elements? If you could open a bug report, with a minimal input document and stylesheet that reproduce the problem, that would be great.

If I configure a XalanTransformer with an error handler and if I compile a stylesheet, any errors in the stylesheet are reported through the error handler. In Xalan 1.3, the return of the compileStylesheet operation was also different from 0 (success) in case any errors were reported through the error handler. In Xalan 1.4, it seems that even if some errors are reported through the error handler, the return of the compileStylesheet is set to 0 (success). Is it an expected behavior change or should I investigate a little more to make sure that I am not doing anything wrong? Thanks. Thomas
