Perhaps another useful parameter would be the name of the entity that you
are resolving.

This is a nice feature I was looking for.
It would be great if one more parameter is added to indicate
the entity is a DTD, a general entity or a XML schema.
The idea here is that schema/dtd caching can be better
managed at application level and schema/dtd can be provided
to the parser.

Thanks.

I just had an idea of adding a "name" parameter to the
XMLEntityResolver#resolveEntity method so that the entity
resolver has more options when resolving an entity. The
use case I was thinking of was being able to resolve the
external DTD based on the element root name, disregarding
what the document specified in the public and/or system
identifiers.

Whatcha think?
