31  * <p>This class is available as a convenience base class for SAX2
32  * applications: it provides default implementations for all of the
33  * callbacks in the four core SAX2 handler classes:</p>
34  *
35  * <ul>
36  * <li>{@link org.xml.sax.EntityResolver EntityResolver}</li>
37  * <li>{@link org.xml.sax.DTDHandler DTDHandler}</li>
38  * <li>{@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler ContentHandler}</li>
39  * <li>{@link org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler ErrorHandler}</li>
40  * </ul>
41  *
42  * <p>Application writers can extend this class when they need to
43  * implement only part of an interface; parser writers can
44  * instantiate this class to provide default handlers when the
45  * application has not supplied its own.</p>
46  *
47  * <p>This class replaces the deprecated SAX1
48  * {@link org.xml.sax.HandlerBase HandlerBase} class.</p>
