Hi Raj, The locator in Xerces is actually the scanner. It always points to the scanner's position in the stream. This is consistent with SAX says which says that the column [1] and line [2] numbers reported by the locator correspond to the position where "the current document event ends". There's no way to configure the parser so that the Locator points elsewhere.
