Re: [libxml++] parser problem

[dexter <dexter balabit hu>]

Hi!

First of all, I think you slightly misunderstood what i wrote.

1. I'm aware of that I don't have DTD in my xml. I have a very good 
reason for that. Namely, I don't need it. I'll do the validation with a 
schema and not with DTD. (I also know that libxml++ doesn't contain a 
wrapper to do that, but i've already applied Emilien KIA's patch, so now 
it is capable to do validation with schemas)

2. The problem is not with the validation (It does not even get there).
The problem is that the xml is _not_ well formed. And what I would like 
is to get the error somehow in my program, but instead it just writes 
error messages to the console. Of course I use exceptions as you wrote, 
and I catch everything at the end [catch (...)], but this error cannot 
be catched because - as i noticed - it doesn't raise an exception.

With the method I mentioned in my previous mail, I'm able to catch those 
error, but I thougth - maybe - there's a simplier way to do that.

I hope it's more clear now.
