| This class is a container for parser settings that relate to
security, or more specifically, it is intended to be used to prevent denial-of-service
attacks from being launched against a system running Xerces.
Any component that is aware of a denial-of-service attack that can arise
from its processing of a certain kind of document may query its Component Manager
for the property (http://apache.org/xml/properties/security-manager)
whose value will be an instance of this class.
If no value has been set for the property, the component should proceed in the "usual" (spec-compliant)
manner. If a value has been set, then it must be the case that the component in
question needs to know what method of this class to query. This class
will provide defaults for all known security issues, but will also provide
setters so that those values can be tailored by applications that care.
