 * Public Domain, and comes with <strong>NO WARRANTY</strong>.</em>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>This class implements the default behaviour for four SAX1
 * interfaces: EntityResolver, DTDHandler, DocumentHandler,
 * and ErrorHandler.  It is now obsolete, but is included in SAX2 to
 * support legacy SAX1 applications.  SAX2 applications should use
 * the {@link org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler DefaultHandler}
 * class instead.</p>
 *
 * <p>Application writers can extend this class when they need to
 * implement only part of an interface; parser writers can
 * instantiate this class to provide default handlers when the
 * application has not supplied its own.</p>
 *
 * <p>Note that the use of this class is optional.</p>
 *
 * @deprecated This class works with the deprecated
 *             {@link org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler DocumentHandler}
 *             interface.  It has been replaced by the SAX2
 *             {@link org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler DefaultHandler}
 *             class.
 * @since SAX 1.0
