Browse All TopicsI'm developing a java application to exchange information by using the XML document. I use the SAXbuilder to do the DTD validation and the parser will return me the error description when encountered error. However, i can't get the error code from there. when hit error, I need to reply to the sender on the exact error for the XML document by mapping it into a list of error code. For eg: Error code:0001 for Invalid root element. So, would like to know how to get the more specific error description with error code. So that we can map the XML error code to our error code.
Thanks in advance

Catch the Java exception and test if it is a SaxParseException, if so coerce and use the methods of the class :- http://java.sun.com/j2se/1 .4.2/docs/ api/org/xm l/sax/ SAXP arseExcept ion.html
