+/**
+ *  <code>LSResourceResolver</code> provides a way for applications to
+ * redirect references to external resources.
+ * <p> Applications needing to implement custom handling for external
+ * resources can implement this interface and register their implementation
+ * by setting the "resource-resolver" parameter of
+ * <code>DOMConfiguration</code> objects attached to <code>LSParser</code>
+ * and <code>LSSerializer</code>. It can also be register on
+ * <code>DOMConfiguration</code> objects attached to <code>Document</code>
+ * if the "LS" feature is supported.
+ * <p> The <code>LSParser</code> will then allow the application to intercept
+ * any external entities, including the external DTD subset and external
+ * parameter entities, before including them. The top-level document entity
+ * is never passed to the <code>resolveResource</code> method.
+ * <p> Many DOM applications will not need to implement this interface, but it
+ * will be especially useful for applications that build XML documents from
+ * databases or other specialized input sources, or for applications that
+ * use URNs.
+ * <p ><b>Note:</b>  <code>LSResourceResolver</code> is based on the SAX2 [<a href='http://www.saxproject.org/'>SAX</a>] <code>EntityResolver</code>
+ * interface.
+ * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load
+and Save Specification</a>.

+     *  Allow the application to resolve external resources.
+     * <br> The <code>LSParser</code> will call this method before opening any
+     * external resource, including the external DTD subset, external
+     * entities referenced within the DTD, and external entities referenced
+     * within the document element (however, the top-level document entity
+     * is not passed to this method). The application may then request that
+     * the <code>LSParser</code> resolve the external resource itself, that
+     * it use an alternative URI, or that it use an entirely different input
+     * source.
+     * <br> Application writers can use this method to redirect external
+     * system identifiers to secure and/or local URI, to look up public
+     * identifiers in a catalogue, or to read an entity from a database or
+     * other input source (including, for example, a dialog box).
+     * @param type  The type of the resource being resolved. For XML [<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204'>XML 1.0</a>] resources
+     *   (i.e. entities), applications must use the value
+     *   <code>"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml"</code>. For XML Schema [<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlschema-1-20010502/'>XML Schema Part 1</a>]
+     *   , applications must use the value
+     *   <code>"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"</code>. Other types of
+     *   resources are outside the scope of this specification and therefore
+     *   should recommend an absolute URI in order to use this method.
+     * @param namespaceURI  The namespace of the resource being resolved,
+     *   e.g. the target namespace of the XML Schema [<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlschema-1-20010502/'>XML Schema Part 1</a>]
+     *    when resolving XML Schema resources.
+     * @param publicId  The public identifier of the external entity being
+     *   referenced, or <code>null</code> if no public identifier was
+     *   supplied or if the resource is not an entity.
+     * @param systemId  The system identifier, a URI reference [<a href='http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt'>IETF RFC 2396</a>], of the
+     *   external resource being referenced, or <code>null</code> if no
+     *   system identifier was supplied.
+     * @param baseURI  The absolute base URI of the resource being parsed, or
+     *   <code>null</code> if there is no base URI.
+     * @return  A <code>LSInput</code> object describing the new input
+     *   source, or <code>null</code> to request that the parser open a
+     *   regular URI connection to the resource.
