Hi Kiran,
Take a look at
http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/program-dom.html#continue-after-fatal, for
example. There are similar features for the DOMBuilder and SAXParsers.
They are totally caveat emptor: no guarantees are made about what the
parser might do if this feature is set. My guess would be that invalid
characters in element content won't cause it to blow up too badly, but you
never know...
Bottom line is that XML parsers are in the business of parsing XML
documents; they'll tell you when something isn't an XML document, but if
you insist on forcing the parser to process something that it's not
expecting, you're on your own.
Cheers,
Neil

Is there anyway I could get the context of an error if it happens.
Currently I get the line/column no where the error happened. I have a case
where there are invalid characters(for that encoding) in a file. I would
like to skip and continue parsing the file.
My question is how effective would be continuing the scan. Is the parser
written to recover from a previous failure.
For eg. <TEST> BAD-DATA </TEST>. Is there anyway I could ignore the invalid
characters for TEST tag while parsing. If I do would the scanner be able to
recover from this failure and understand </TEST> is the end tag.
My need is if there is a way to skip bad character content and continue
parsing.
Thanks
Kiran
