An XML filter is like an XML reader, except that it obtains its events from another XML reader rather than a primary source like an XML document or database. Filters can modify a stream of events as they pass on to the final application.

The XMLFilterImpl helper class provides a convenient base for creating SAX2 filters, by passing on all EntityResolver , DTDHandler , ContentHandler and ErrorHandler events automatically.

 abstract public XMLReader getParent()
Get the parent reader.

This method allows the application to query the parent
reader (which may be another filter). It is generally a
bad idea to perform any operations on the parent reader
directly: they should all pass through this filter.

 abstract public  void setParent(XMLReader parent)
Set the parent reader.

This method allows the application to link the filter to
a parent reader (which may be another filter). The argument
may not be null.
