    Description

      Statements in org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler.fatalError:

      There is an apparent contradiction between the documentation for this method and the documentation for ContentHandler.endDocument(). Until this ambiguity is resolved in a future major release, clients should make no assumptions about whether endDocument() will or will not be invoked when the parser has reported a fatalError() or thrown an exception.

      And statements in ContentHandler.endDocument:

      There is an apparent contradiction between the documentation for this method and the documentation for ErrorHandler.fatalError(org.xml.sax.SAXParseException). Until this ambiguity is resolved in a future major release, clients should make no assumptions about whether endDocument() will or will not be invoked when the parser has reported a fatalError() or thrown an exception.
