If there's a common helper class that people can use as a base, then
filters can be very light anyway (the base class should just pass
through all events unmodified and provide access to registered
handlers).  Here's a filter that renames all "foo" elements to
"bar":

import org.xml.sax.AttributeList;
import org.xml.sax2.helpers.SAXFilter;

public class FooFilter extends SAXFilter
{

  public void startElement (String name, AttributeList atts)
  {
    if (name.equals("foo")) {
      getDocumentHandler().startElement("bar", atts);
    } else {
      getDocumentHandler().startElement(name, atts);
    }
  }

  public void endElement (String name)
  {
    if (name.equals("foo")) {
      getDocumentHandler().endElement("bar");
    } else {
      getDocumentHandler().endElement(name);
    }
  }
}

If people are using DTD events at all, they'll probably want to filter 
them (fiddling with notations, etc.).  Likewise with lexical events.


All the best,
