Just an important observation I discovered ...
When I use DOMSource as the XML document source, the error handler
methods fatalError, error and warning get the value -1 for,
getLineNumber() and getColumnNumber() for the SAXParseException
object. i.e., for DOMSource mechanism, retreiving line and column
numbers for the errors/warnings is not possible.
But I get the correct line numbers for errors/warnings if I use,
StreamSource as the XML document source.
So my below suggestion is wrong, for DOMSource. Sorry, it was not tested ...
