*
* <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
* @author David Megginson,
* <a href="mailto:sax@megginson.com">sax@megginson.com</a>
* @version 2.0
* @see org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl
