Rationale behind Flat2XML error handling

[Anonymous]

I am playing around more with Flat2XML stage. I have a correct file that has 227 fields and I tried to upload a file that has 205 fields. Babeldoc detects this and throws a ton of exception, BUT it does not register an error and goes through the next stage, it simply says Skipping .............

Why is this ? How do I detect this kind of error then ?

Ok I took a look at the source file : FlatFileConverter.java and the relevant method is
Document toXml method where the try catch has the following :

catch (Exception e) {
      errorComment(root, e);
    }

I would think that this should rethrow the exception rather than return a possibly damaged document object. Comments ?

Wrong place it's actually this ( same file ) :
  private void handleNonSegmented(Element root, String[] paragraph) {
    Element rowElement = root.addElement(getUnmarshaller().getRowElement());

    try {
      convert(rowElement, paragraph);
    } catch (ConversionException ce) {
      errorComment(rowElement, ce);
     
--> Exception is swallowed. This is bad in my opinion
