Michael, Thanks for response. I have gone through all the links which you have provided. It looks like that there is no straight way to get the xpath.
If I get the line number during validation error that will be great. I know that DOM level 2 does not give line number during validation error. How can I get the line number when validation error takes place ? SAXSource and StreamSource give line number but I want only with DOM. So is there any way I can get the line number during validation error ? Does DOM level 3 give line number ?
