Create a SAXParser based on the underlying Xerces version. Currently, Xerces 2.3 and up doesn't implement schema validation the same way 2.1 was. In other to support schema validation in a portable way between parser, some features/properties need to be set.
Since:1.6
Deprecated:Create an XMLParser instance yourself, configure validation appropriately, and pass it as a parameter to the Digester constructor, or use Digester.setXMLSchema(Schema) for validation.
