public class DefaultHandler
extends Object
implements EntityResolver, DTDHandler, ContentHandler, ErrorHandler
Default base class for SAX2 event handlers.

This class is available as a convenience base class for SAX2 applications: it provides default implementations for all of the callbacks in the four core SAX2 handler classes:

Application writers can extend this class when they need to implement only part of an interface; parser writers can instantiate this class to provide default handlers when the application has not supplied its own.

This class replaces the deprecated SAX1 HandlerBase class.

Since:
1.4, SAX 2.0
