Thank you very much Ranch,
here is a detailed view of the code I am doing. I am doing XSD schema validation and sax parser. In the error handler I have, I want to show the the detail message of the failed element since the client is generating xml from table structure and give me to validate. So the line number doesn't help them because once I show them the error message they are going back to the table to modify the invalid data. For eg, if school name is invalid, I will show the school Id, district(parent of school node), region(parent of district) .... So I am hoping that if I get the XPath of the failed element, I can get the values of all the elements above the failed node.
Thanks again:
Here is the sample code I have:
