All Implemented Interfaces:

public class DefaultHandler
extends org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler
implements org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler, org.xml.sax.ext.DeclHandler

This class extends the SAX base handler class to support the SAX2 Lexical and Declaration handlers. All the handler methods do is return; except that the SAX base class handles fatal errors by throwing an exception.

Constructor Summary
`DefaultHandler()` Constructs a handler which ignores all parsing events.

Method Summary
`void` `attributeDecl(java.lang.String element, java.lang.String name, java.lang.String type, java.lang.String defaultType, java.lang.String defaltValue)` SAX2: called on attribute declarations
`void` `comment(char[] buf, int off, int len)` SAX2: called when comments are parsed
`void` `elementDecl(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String model)` SAX2: called on element declarations
`void` `endCDATA()` SAX2: called after parsing CDATA characters
`void` `endDTD()` SAX2: called after the doctype is parsed
`void` `endEntity(java.lang.String name)` SAX2: called after parsing a general entity in content
`void` `externalEntityDecl(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String pubid, java.lang.String sysid)` SAX2: called on external entity declarations
`void` `internalEntityDecl(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String value)` SAX2: called on internal entity declarations
`void` `startCDATA()` SAX2: called before parsing CDATA characters
`void` `startDTD(java.lang.String root, java.lang.String pubid, java.lang.String sysid)` SAX2: called when the doctype is partially parsed
`void` `startEntity(java.lang.String name)` SAX2: called before parsing a general entity in content
