/**
 * AnnotationParser
 * <p>
 * Use asm to scan classes for annotations. A SAX-style parsing is done.
 * Handlers are registered which will be called back when various types of
 * entity are encountered, eg a class, a method, a field. 
 * <p> 
 * Handlers are not called back in any particular order and are assumed
 * to be order-independent.
 * <p>
 * As a registered Handler will be called back for each annotation discovered
 * on a class, a method, a field, the Handler should test to see if the annotation
 * is one that it is interested in.
 * <p>
 * For the servlet spec, we are only interested in annotations on classes, methods and fields,
 * so the callbacks for handling finding a class, a method a field are themselves
 * not fully implemented.
