All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentHandler, DTDHandler, EntityResolver, ErrorHandler, XMLFilter

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

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 {@link org.xml.sax.XMLReader 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.

XMLFilterImpl

public XMLFilterImpl()

Construct an empty XML filter, with no parent.

This filter will have no parent: you must assign a parent before you start a parse or do any configuration with setFeature or setProperty, unless you use this as a pure event consumer rather than as an {@link XMLReader}.

XMLFilterImpl

public XMLFilterImpl(XMLReader parent)

Construct an XML filter with the specified parent.

Parameters:

parent
