Encapsulate Namespace logic for use by applications using SAX,

</blockquote>
<p>This class encapsulates the logic of Namespace processing: it
tracks the declarations currently in force for each context and
automatically processes qualified XML names into their Namespace
parts; it can also be used in reverse for generating XML qnames
from Namespaces.</p>
<p>Namespace support objects are reusable, but the reset method
must be invoked between each session.</p>
<p>Here is a simple session:</p>
<pre>
String parts[] = new String[3];
NamespaceSupport support = new NamespaceSupport();
support.pushContext();
support.declarePrefix("", "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
support.declarePrefix("dc", "http://www.purl.org/dc#");
parts = support.processName("p", parts, false);
System.out.println("Namespace URI: " + parts[0]);
System.out.println("Local name: " + parts[1]);
System.out.println("Raw name: " + parts[2]);
parts = support.processName("dc:title", parts, false);
System.out.println("Namespace URI: " + parts[0]);
System.out.println("Local name: " + parts[1]);
System.out.println("Raw name: " + parts[2]);
support.popContext();
</pre>
<p>Note that this class is optimized for the use case where most
elements do not contain Namespace declarations: if the same
prefix/URI mapping is repeated for each context (for example), this
class will be somewhat less efficient.</p>
<p>Although SAX drivers (parsers) may choose to use this class to
implement namespace handling, they are not required to do so.
Applications must track namespace information themselves if they
want to use namespace information.

<PRE>
public void <B>pushContext</B>()</PRE>
<DL>
<DD>Start a new Namespace context.
The new context will automatically inherit
the declarations of its parent context, but it will also keep
track of which declarations were made within this context.
<p>Event callback code should start a new context once per element.
This means being ready to call this in either of two places.
For elements that don't include namespace declarations, the
<em>ContentHandler.startElement()</em> callback is the right place.
For elements with such a declaration, it'd done in the first
<em>ContentHandler.startPrefixMapping()</em> callback.
A boolean flag can be used to
track whether a context has been started yet. When either of
those methods is called, it checks the flag to see if a new context
needs to be started. If so, it starts the context and sets the
flag. After <em>ContentHandler.startElement()</em>
does that, it always clears the flag.
<p>Normally, SAX drivers would push a new context at the beginning
of each XML element. Then they perform a first pass over the
attributes to process all namespace declarations, making
<em>ContentHandler.startPrefixMapping()</em> callbacks.
Then a second pass is made, to determine the namespace-qualified
names for all attributes and for the element name.
Finally all the information for the
<em>ContentHandler.startElement()</em> callback is available,
so it can then be made.
<p>The Namespace support object always starts with a base context
already in force: in this context, only the "xml" prefix is
declared.</p><DD><DL>

public boolean <B>declarePrefix</B>(java.lang.String&nbsp;prefix,
java.lang.String&nbsp;uri)</PRE>
<DL>
<DD>Declare a Namespace prefix. All prefixes must be declared
before they are referenced. For example, a SAX driver (parser)
would scan an element's attributes
in two passes: first for namespace declarations,
then a second pass using <A HREF="../../../../org/xml/sax/helpers/NamespaceSupport.html#processName(java.lang.String, java.lang.String[], boolean)">processName()</A> to
interpret prefixes against (potentially redefined) prefixes.
<p>This method declares a prefix in the current Namespace
context; the prefix will remain in force until this context
is popped, unless it is shadowed in a descendant context.</p>
<p>To declare the default element Namespace, use the empty string as
the prefix.</p>
<p>Note that there is an asymmetry in this library: <A HREF="../../../../org/xml/sax/helpers/NamespaceSupport.html#getPrefix(java.lang.String)">getPrefix</A> will not return the "" prefix,
even if you have declared a default element namespace.
To check for a default namespace,
you have to look it up explicitly using <A HREF="../../../../org/xml/sax/helpers/NamespaceSupport.html#getURI(java.lang.String)">getURI</A>.
This asymmetry exists to make it easier to look up prefixes
for attribute names, where the default prefix is not allowed.</p><DD><DL>
<DT><B>Parameters:</B><DD><CODE>prefix</CODE> - The prefix to declare, or the empty string to
indicate the default element namespace. This may never have

<DD>Return an enumeration of all prefixes for a given URI whose
