  18:  * <p>This class implements the default behaviour for four SAX1
  19:  * interfaces: EntityResolver, DTDHandler, DocumentHandler,
  20:  * and ErrorHandler.  It is now obsolete, but is included in SAX2 to
  21:  * support legacy SAX1 applications.  SAX2 applications should use
  22:  * the {@link org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler DefaultHandler}
  23:  * class instead.</p>
  24:  *
  25:  * <p>Application writers can extend this class when they need to
  26:  * implement only part of an interface; parser writers can
  27:  * instantiate this class to provide default handlers when the
  28:  * application has not supplied its own.</p>
  29:  *
  30:  * <p>Note that the use of this class is optional.</p>
  31:  *
  32:  * @deprecated This class works with the deprecated
  33:  *             {@link org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler DocumentHandler}
  34:  *             interface.  It has been replaced by the SAX2
  35:  *             {@link org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler DefaultHandler}
  36:  *             class.
