Would something like:
     private void flushCharacters() throws SAXException {
         flushCharacters(textBuffer.toString());
         textBuffer.clear();
     }
     protected void flushCharacters(String data) throws SAXException {
         if (data.length() == 0) {
             previousCDATA = inCDATA;
             return;
         }
         ...
be OK?

createContentHandler is protected.
