Receive notification of a non-recoverable error.
There is an apparent contradiction between the
documentation for this method and the documentation for ContentHandler.endDocument()
. Until this ambiguity
is resolved in a future major release, clients should make no
assumptions about whether endDocument() will or will not be
invoked when the parser has reported a fatalError() or thrown
an exception.
This corresponds to the definition of "fatal error" in
section 1.2 of the W3C XML 1.0 Recommendation. For example, a
parser would use this callback to report the violation of a
well-formedness constraint.
The application must assume that the document is unusable
after the parser has invoked this method, and should continue
(if at all) only for the sake of collecting additional error
messages: in fact, SAX parsers are free to stop reporting any
other events once this method has been invoked.
Parameters:
-
exception - The error information encapsulated in a
SAX parse exception.
Throws:
-
org.xml.sax.SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.
