/**
* An interface for handling Entity events.
*
* This event reports entities that have not been resolved
* and reports their replacement text unprocessed (if
* available). This event will be reported if javax.xml.stream.isReplacingEntityReferences
* is set to false. If javax.xml.stream.isReplacingEntityReferences is set to true
* entity references will be resolved transparently.
*
* Entities are handled in two possible ways:
*
* (1) If javax.xml.stream.isReplacingEntityReferences is set to true
* all entity references are resolved and reported as markup transparently.
* (2) If javax.xml.stream.isReplacingEntityReferences is set to false
* Entity references are reported as an EntityReference Event.
