18 | * <p>This was the main event-handling interface for SAX1; in | |
19 | * SAX2, it has been replaced by {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler | |
20 | * ContentHandler}, which provides Namespace support and reporting | |
21 | * of skipped entities. This interface is included in SAX2 only | |
22 | * to support legacy SAX1 applications.</p> | |
23 | * | |
24 | * <p>The order of events in this interface is very important, and | |
25 | * mirrors the order of information in the document itself. For | |
26 | * example, all of an element's content (character data, processing | |
27 | * instructions, and/or subelements) will appear, in order, between | |
28 | * the startElement event and the corresponding endElement event.</p> | |
29 | * | |
30 | * <p>Application writers who do not want to implement the entire | |
31 | * interface can derive a class from HandlerBase, which implements | |
32 | * the default functionality; parser writers can instantiate | |
33 | * HandlerBase to obtain a default handler. The application can find | |
34 | * the location of any document event using the Locator interface | |
35 | * supplied by the Parser through the setDocumentLocator method.</p> | |
36 | * | |
37 | * @deprecated This interface has been replaced by the SAX2 | |
38 | * {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler ContentHandler} | |
39 | * interface, which includes Namespace support. | |
40 | * @since SAX 1.0 | |

53 | * <p>SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely | |

55 | * the locator to the application by invoking this method before | |

61 | * not reporting an error. Typically, the application will | |
62 | * use this information for reporting its own errors (such as | |
63 | * character content that does not match an application's | |
64 | * business rules). The information returned by the locator | |
65 | * is probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.</p> | |
