The Java SDK 2.0 final release is now available from
http://www.microsoft.com/java and this includes documentation of the
latest version of the Java parser that is included in IE 4.0.
In particular you will want to look at the com.ms.xml.om and
com.ms.xml.parser packages.
The Java parser throws an exception when it finds a problem and the
exception includes information that you could display to the user. We
even have a standard way of describing the error, for example, the
following is a typical error you might get:
Close tag WOOPS does not match start tag TREE
Location: file:/d:/java/msxml/foo.xml(7,25)
Context: <GARDEN><TREE>
Location shows the file that contains the error, then the line number
then the character position on that line, so in this example it's line 7
character position 25. The Context will list all the tags from the
scope of the error out to the root of the document. In this case the
error is inside the <TREE> element which is inside the root <GARDEN>
element.
So yes, you could write an authoring tool using this approach.
