I was looking at the code generated by a JAXB compile ( xjc.sh that came
with Java web services package version 1.2 ) 

( impl.runtime.validatorImpl class )

The code for validateRoot() finally executes this exception handler

-------------------------------------------------------------------
} catch( SAXException e ) {
            // TODO exception handling.
            // we need a consistent mechanism to convert SAXException
into JAXBException
            Exception nested = e.getException();
            if( e != null ) {
                throw new ValidationException( nested );
            } else {
                throw new ValidationException( e );
            }
            //return false;
        }

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think they meant "if( nested != null )".


This results in a ValidationException being thrown without any useful
information at all contained within, if nested happens to be null.
In otherwords if there is no nested exception original SAXException -
which probably contained a message and definitely stacktrace - is just
thrown away.

1. Am I write in my conclusion above ? Is this a known bug ?

2. What is the best JAXB implementation available out there ?
3. Is the RI known for its standard compliance ?
