- type
- The type of the resource being resolved. For XML [] resources (i.e. entities), applications must use the value "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml". For XML Schema [] , applications must use the value "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema". Other types of resources are outside the scope of this specification and therefore should recommend an absolute URI in order to use this method.
- namespaceURI
- The namespace of the resource being resolved, e.g. the target namespace of the XML Schema [] when resolving XML Schema resources.
- publicId
- The public identifier of the external entity being referenced, or null if no public identifier was supplied or if the resource is not an entity.
- systemId
- The system identifier, a URI reference [], of the external resource being referenced, or null if no system identifier was supplied.
- baseURI
- The absolute base URI of the resource being parsed, or null if there is no base URI.

Allow the application to resolve external resources.
The LSParser 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 LSParser resolve the external resource itself, that
it use an alternative URI, or that it use an entirely different input
source.
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).
