All validation error from saxParser.parse

Question

I am getting just the 1st error but I want all the errors in the 1st pass itself.
Attaching the code for reference also.
?would really appreciate you suggestion.

XMLErrorHandler errorHandler = new XMLErrorHandler();
factory.setErrorHandler(errorHandler);
//set the resource resolver to customize resource resolution
//factory.setResourceResolver( new MyLSResourceResolver());
// load a WXS schema, represented by a Schema instance

//Just set the Schema instance on SAXParserFactory
spf.setSchema(schema);
//Obtain the SAXParser instance

//parser will parse the XML document but validate it using Schema instance

Answer 1

No really, it will report all the error if you turn on the validation and implement the error hander methods(error()).
ALSO,
My XSD had "<xs:sequence>" which was causing the problem.
We had to change it to "<xs:all>". Now all the errors are getting reported.
thx!
