style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>I’m writing an
XMLValidator tool that first parses a file against the schema (using Xerces)
then runs custom xml checks if the build was successful. I’m using a
SAXBuilder for this and just calling the build() method to parse the XML
document. The additional checks include things like making sure the content of
required elements is present, etc (I couldn’t find a way to specify this
in an XML schema).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>I tried throwing a
SAXParseException and calling the getLineNumber() method, but the exception
seems to have no knowledge of the document. I also read some stuff about using
a SAXHandler and setting the document location, but I couldn’t really get
my head around it enough to understand how I could use it. I’m fairly
new to JDOM. Is there any easy way to accomplish this?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
