How to get the element of and invalid xml file with failed xsd Validation

Viewed 16649

I am currently using my XSD to Validate my xml. This part works fine my porblem is that I want to obtain the element of the tag /value that is invalid.

    InputSource is = new InputSource();
    is.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(xml));
    XMLStreamReader reader = null;
    SchemaFactory factory=SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
    Schema schema = factory.newSchema(xsdschemalocation);
    Validator validator = schema.newValidator(); 
    try
    {
        reader = XMLInputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamReader(new StreamSource(new StringReader(xml)));
    } catch (XMLStreamException ex)
    {
        LogController.getLogger().logSEVERE("Unable to create the streamreader from the xml source", ex.getLocalizedMessage());
        return false;
    }
    try
    {
        validator.validate(new StAXSource(reader));
    }
    catch (IOException ex)
    {
        LogController.getLogger().logSEVERE("IOException in the validatation has been caused as the reader has become null", ex.getLocalizedMessage());
        return false;
    }
catch(SAXException saxe)
    {
        LogController.getLogger().logWARNING("Their is a validation error with the xml", saxe.getLocalizedMessage());
        //*****HERE I WANT THE TAG THAT HAS THE ERROR
        ClientCommunication.ErrorMessageForClient(VALIDATION_ERROR, socket);
        CloseClientConnection();
        return;
    }

The idea I had which is not practical is to look in the message for the word "type" or "end-tag" and get the value after it, however I know this is not going to be good practice! I find this frustrating as I can see the tag that is invalid but can't get hold of it!

Here are some examples of the element I want

1. Message: Element type "first" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".

2. javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 353; cvc-pattern-valid: Value '079e989989' is not facet-valid with respect to pattern '([0-9])+' for type 'phoneNumber'.

3. Message: The element type "firstLine" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</firstLine>".
