[Qt-interest] QXmlSchemaValidator::validate throws exception on validation error

[Ulf-Alexander v. Ceumern-Lindenstjerna]

Hi all,

I just recently decided to use QXmlSchemaValidator to validate my xml
files.

This seems to work just fine, except that QXmlSchemaValidator::validate
throws an exception deep in QPatternist::ReportContext::createError:

void ReportContext::createError(const QString &description,
                                const QtMsgType type,
                                const QUrl &id,
                                const QSourceLocation &sourceLocation)
const
{
    messageHandler()->message(type, finalizeDescription(description),
id, sourceLocation);
    throw Exception(true); // <------ here
}

Is that the intended behavior? 
Am I supposed to try/catch QXmlSchemaValidator::validate?
If yes, isn't this unlike the rest of Qt?
If no, why does it throw?

Secondly, how do I get the error message?

Regards, Ulf
