It sounds to me that the problem is that he does not want to have to rewrite the ContentHandler to configure this behavior for each different parse. I don't think this is possible in Java, because exceptions are based on compile-time declarations. Perhaps you could look at my sample Python code for an example of what I think he wants (which I think is only possible in such a straightforward manner with a dynamic language). In my example, changing the exception handling behavior is a matter of different handler instantiation parameters, rather than different handler code. Then again, thinking about it, maybe this could be done in Java by registering flags on the handler that are checked within the catch code block in order to change behavior. Not as straightforward, but it may work. -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org http://fourthought.com Use CSS to display XML - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/x-dw-x-xmlcss-i.html Full XML Indexes with Gnosis - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/12/08/py-xml.html Be humble, not imperial (in design) - http://www.adtmag.com/article.asp?id=10286 UBL 1.0 - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-think28.html Use Universal Feed Parser to tame RSS - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tipufp.html Default and error handling in XSLT lookup tables - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tiplook.html A survey of XML standards - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-stand4/ The State of Python-XML in 2004 - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/10/13/py-xml.html
