XMLFilterImpl

public class XMLFilterImpl
extends Object implements XMLFilter, EntityResolver, DTDHandler, ContentHandler, ErrorHandler

java.lang.Object
   ↳ org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl


Base class for deriving an XML filter.

This module, both source code and documentation, is in the Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY. See http://www.saxproject.org for further information.

This class is designed to sit between an XMLReader and the client application's event handlers. By default, it does nothing but pass requests up to the reader and events on to the handlers unmodified, but subclasses can override specific methods to modify the event stream or the configuration requests as they pass through.
