- * <p>An XML filter is like an XML reader, except that it obtains its
- * events from another XML reader rather than a primary source like
- * an XML document or database. Filters can modify a stream of
- * events as they pass on to the final application.</p>
- *
- * <p>The XMLFilterImpl helper class provides a convenient base
- * for creating SAX2 filters, by passing on all {@link org.xml.sax.EntityResolver
- * EntityResolver}, {@link org.xml.sax.DTDHandler DTDHandler},
- * {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler ContentHandler} and {@link org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler
- * ErrorHandler} events automatically.</p>
- *
- * @since SAX 2.0
