ErrorHandler

Synopsis

The way SAX deals with error conditions is described in Section 3.2.2 in Chapter 3. For the methods of the ErrorHandler interface, each is called with a parameter giving an SAXException instance as a parameter. The specific exception classes are described in SAX Exceptions, later in this Appendix.

error( exception )

This method allows the application to respond to a recoverable error.

fatalError( exception )

Similar to error, this method indicates that the parser has encountered an error that is not recoverable. Applications are to assume that the document is unusable at this point.

warning( exception )

This method is called to communicate conditions that are not fatal, and not necessarily errors.
