[jdom-interest] Sad failure...

[Laurent Bihanic]

The method name is setDocumentLocator, not setLocator. Be warned that if you 
are deriving from DefaultHandler (which defines this method as empty), the 
compiler will not warn you of any spelling mistake.

We use Locators with both Xerces and Crimson and they work OK.

Hope this helps,

Laurent
