Java library for XML entity resolution

It is very common for web resources to be related to other resources. These relationships are expressed using URIs, most often URLs. Relying on URLs to directly identify resources to be retrieved often causes problems for end users. One way to avoid these problems is to use an entity resolver (a standard part of SAX) or a URI Resolver (a standard part of JAXP). A resolver can examine the URIs of the resources being requested and determine how best to satisfy those requests. The best way to make this function in an interoperable way is to define a standard format for mapping system identifiers and URIs. These catalog files can be used to map public and system identifiers and other URIs to local files (or just other URIs). The XML Commons Resolver classes greatly simplify the task of using catalog files to perform entity resolution.
