 * This class extends the SAX2 base handler class to support the
 * SAX2 {@link LexicalHandler}, {@link DeclHandler}, and
 * {@link EntityResolver2} extensions.  Except for overriding the
 * original SAX1 {@link DefaultHandler#resolveEntity resolveEntity()}
 * method the added handler methods just return.  Subclassers may
 * override everything on a method-by-method basis.
