Oh, but those threads are about "on-demand" validation --- a kind of
validation you do on JAXB contents, not when you are unmarshalling.
When you are unmarshalling from XML, then you can access the location
information and it gives you the line number, file name, and etc. I
believe that's equivalent of what Xerces produces. Obtain
ValidationEventLocator from ValidationEvent and check out its properties.
Unfortunately the default ValidationEventHandler doesn't print the line
number, so that might be why you think we don't provide that information,
but in the next release the line number will be printed by default.

Hard to tell, but I suspect the latter. After all, when you pass in File,
Reader, InputStream or things like that, we internally use the
UnmarshallerHandler to unmarshal it. So it's kind of strange that it
doesn't work.
Have you turned on the namespace support on the parser (aka
setNamespaceAware(true))?
Could you post the relevant part of the source code?
