69  * This is the base class for all filters. The purpose of the filter mechanism
70  * is to remove possibly harmful html code that could be injected into dynamic
71  * html code by a hacker. The resulting code may steal users passwords from clients
72  * and do other bad things to their machines. Expresso implements transparent
73  * filtering by automatically filtering all string content from databases and
74  * input parameters.
75  * <p/>
76  * <H4>How to Create your own character-set filter</H4><p>
77  * <p/>
78  * 1 - Derive a class from Filter. The name of the class should be the name of the
79  * characterset you're using. If the characterset's name includes hyphens, substitute
80  * underscores ('_') for the hyphens in naming your filter.<p>
81  * <p/>
82  * 2 - Create two arrays, one contains the characters that are special control
83  * characters and should be taken care of. The second array contains the strings
84  * that will be substituted whenever one of the control characters is encountered
85  * (in standardMethod)<p>
86  * <p/>
87  * 3 - In your default constructor, pass those two arrays to the constructor of the
88  * base Filter Class<p>
89  * <p/>
