how to stop Xerces

How can I stop Xerces Java 2.6.2 execution? If there is a validation error I want to stop parsing, but now it goes on.. :-(

That's normal behavior. Only fatal errors (violating wellformedness)
make the parser stop.

You may ry
System.exit
in your ErrorHandler's error method.

Would throwing an exception in the error method stop the parser? (without necessarily stopping the calling program)

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

My Java SDK documention for 1.4 says:

public void parse(InputSource input)
throws IOException,
SAXException
Parse an XML document.

During the parse, the XMLReader will provide information about the XML document through the registered event handlers.

This method is synchronous: it will not return until parsing has ended. If a client application wants to terminate parsing early, it should throw an exception.
