Certainly you need to instantiate an object per handler, however it need not
be too ugly
public class MyFilter {
public final DTDHandler dtdHandler = new DTDHandler() {
... };
public final DocumentHandler documentHandler = new DocumentHandler() {
... };
....
}
would seem to me to be a reasonable way of dealing with this.
