Saxon

Hi Michael,

This is the simplified code I use:

Configuration config = new Configuration();
XPathFactory xpf = new XPathFactoryImpl(config);
XPath xPath = xpf.newXPath();
XPathExpression compiledExpression = xPath.compile("/*");
try {
	compiledExpression.evaluate(new InputSource(new StringReader("This is invalid xml")));
} catch (Exception e) {
// No-op for demonstration purposes.
}

No matter a custom errorListeren is set on the config object or not, the error will always be printed on the System.out. This is because copying the errorListener in net.sf.saxon.lib.ParseOptions.applyDefaults(Configuration) fails. I'm using saxon-he-9.0.6-5. You are right, the exception are thrown back to the application, but there's also some logging to the System.out.

Kind regards,

Mark

OK, thanks. I hadn't realised we were talking about XML parsing errors.
