or

Both does not throw SAXException even I parsed an invalid xml file (well formed).
However, if I use JDOM, JDOMException will be caught.
The URI http://xml.org/sax/features/validation actually does not exist, could that be the reason for failing validation?
If it is, then what is the new working one?
If it is not, why it does not work? It is all over the internet, and I saw other people's complain on it too.
Please Help!
Thanks in advance!

The strange thing is JDOM using the same statement inside their code:
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
and it works! Why? I saw the same question posted on Apache and JGuru, no answer yet.
If you made this work, please help!!!
Thanks!

In JAXP anyway, it looks to me like you have to set the feature on the SAXParserFactory before you get the parser or the parser you get is not guaranteed to support the feature.
The URI is just there as a String constant, not a real resource.

Thanks Bill!
If I turn it on at the factory level, it works always. But it is hard to do that.
All I need is a concrete class which implements ErrorHandler. If you fake it by using DefaultHandler, it will not work, even DefaultHandler implements ErrorHandler.
Problem solved. See http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tipeh.html
