Subject: Digester: No rules found matching
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello-

I am new to Digester.   I am using it for a simple application.

I would like digester to halt if the XML file contains unexpected tags 
or attributes.   By unexpected I mean that there is no rule matching 
them.   In other words, the file must only contain XML that conforms to 
my rules.

But, Digester continues past these, and only mentions the problem in the 
log under DEBUG mode.

Questions:
   - can i make digester stop on a no-rule-found condition?   (if not, 
what is the thinking behind why that is not an option?)
   - or, do i need to define a DTD for my xml and use validation?   If 
so, what errorHandler should I use?

thanks,
steve
