Valitadion of xml with schema declared in it

Question

Hey,
I can compile this and run it; but I don't know if it works because it will not throw any exceptions if I change my xmlfile to be not valid. So I'm not getting any printouts...
This is not good at all. What have I done wrong? I'm totally new to this so this code might look bad. If it does, don't hesitate to just tell me.
public class Validation {
static final String JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE =
"http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage";
static final String W3C_XML_SCHEMA =
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
static final File xmlFile = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/erm/My Documents/xml/generated_xml.xml");
public Validation()
public static void main(String args [])
parser();
public static void parser()
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
factory.setValidating(true);
DefaultHandler handler = new DefaultHandler();
try{
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
saxParser.setProperty(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, W3C_XML_SCHEMA);
saxParser.parse(xmlFile, handler);
catch(SAXParseException se)
System.out.println("Bla bla..." + se);
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Bla bla..." + e);
Am I suppose to declare this method in the class as well? It is in my class "Validation" as it is now...
public void error(SAXParseException e)
throws SAXParseException
throw e;
Thanks / Elin

This is the start of my XML-file, is this what you're talking about?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ship_performance xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="C:\Documents and Settings\erm\My Documents\ships performance\draft2.xsd">
