Usage
*
* If you obtain a reference to {@link javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventLocator},
* check if you can cast it to {@link ValidationEventLocatorEx} first, like this:
*
* void foo( ValidationEvent e ) {
* ValidationEventLocator loc = e.getLocator();
* if( loc instanceof ValidationEventLocatorEx ) {
* String fieldName = ((ValidationEventLocatorEx)loc).getFieldName();
* if( fieldName!=null ) {
* // do something with location.
* }
* }
* }
