- * Receive notification of general document events.
- *
- * <blockquote>
- * <em>This module, both source code and documentation, is in the
- * Public Domain, and comes with <strong>NO WARRANTY</strong>.</em>
- * </blockquote>
- *
- * <p>This was the main event-handling interface for SAX1; in
- * SAX2, it has been replaced by {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler
- * ContentHandler}, which provides Namespace support and reporting
- * of skipped entities. This interface is included in SAX2 only
- * to support legacy SAX1 applications.</p>
- *
- * <p>The order of events in this interface is very important, and
- * mirrors the order of information in the document itself. For
- * example, all of an element's content (character data, processing
- * instructions, and/or subelements) will appear, in order, between
- * the startElement event and the corresponding endElement event.</p>
- *
- * <p>Application writers who do not want to implement the entire
- * interface can derive a class from HandlerBase, which implements
- * the default functionality; parser writers can instantiate
- * HandlerBase to obtain a default handler. The application can find
- * the location of any document event using the Locator interface
- * supplied by the Parser through the setDocumentLocator method.</p>
- *
- * @deprecated This interface has been replaced by the SAX2
- * {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler ContentHandler}
- * interface, which includes Namespace support.
- * @since SAX 1.0
