I need to examine several hundred thousand text strings and accumulate a
count of the number of strings containing "well-formed XML" (i.e. can be
parsed with saxBuilder and then used) vs "poorly-formed" (i.e. something in
the string prevents successful parsing).  My (limited) experience is that
an exception (such as a JDOMException thrown by Saxbuilder.build()) will
halt execution.
How can I validate the XML in these strings without halting execution?
Thanks!
Cliff
