/**
* <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.
