Problems with custom EntityResolver

[Fergus Gallagher <Fe...@OrbisUK.com>]

I have an XML doc with

         <!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "my.dtd">

and I want to intercept the systemId to load it from a custom location so I 
set a custom EntityResolver as:

-----
         processor = XSLTProcessorFactory.getProcessor();
         XMLParserLiaison parserLiaison= processor.getXMLProcessorLiaison();
         parserLiaison.setEntityResolver(new MyResolver());

         ....

         private class MyResolver implements EntityResolver {

                 public InputSource resolveEntity
                         (String publicId, String systemId) {
                 System.out.println("resolving "+systemId);
                         ....
                 }
         }
------

My problem is that the passed systemId is

         <base-URL-of-XML>/my.dtd (e.g., file:xml/my.dtd)

rather than just the raw string "my.dtd"

This make custom entity resolution problematic as the systemId is lot 
location independent.   Does anyone have any suggestions as to a better way 
to do this?  The hack to strip out everything after the last "/" is 
certainly sub-optimal.

Thanks

Fergus
