Maybe I don't understand your question, but this in java refers to the current instance of the class itself. So this refers to the current RequestGenerator object. And this.attribute refers to a method defined somewhere in the class itself or in one of the classes this generator inherits from. You note (partially correctly) that this.contentHandler is inherited from AbstractXMLProducer, but startDocument() is in the contentHandler class, not AbstractXMLProducer.
Don't know offhand where attribute() is inherited from, but it shouldn't take long to find out - the java docs will tell you where it came from.
