crash when using dom parser to parse an invalid xml file

[x***@kodak.com]

Hi,

I am new to this mailing list, so please bear with me if this question had
been asked before.

I am using dom parser to parse an in memory xml string, the parser would
crash the whole application if the xml string is invalid -- for example,
one of the "<" is missing for one of the fields. I thought it would just
throw an exception -- does anybody have any idea how to prevent the crash
from happening?

Are you catching the appropriate exceptions? If not, your application will
crash. See the sample applications and the documentation for more
information.

Thanks for replying. Yes, I tried to catch all exceptions using the catch
(...) phrase. However, the parser didn't throw an exception, and my
application never caught any exceptions. and the crash actually happens
inside the parser code and not my application. I thought there might be
some sort of flags that I could set so that the parser could throw
exceptions in cases such as this.

Hi,

Well, if the parser is crashing when on an ill-formed document, then that's
a bug. You should put together a minimal document that reproduces the
crash, create a bugzilla reoprt, and attach the document to the report.
But first, make sure you're using the latest version of the parser.

Input of malformed xml should neither throw nor crash. The parse method
should only return false and the error is reported through the
registered error handler.

Have you initialized Xerces before using any of the classes? Are you
linking with the correct runtime? Try parsing your input document with
the DOMCount example. If the crash persists there then you have found a
bug.
