Implement your own EntityResolver (and instruct the parser to use it via
setEntityResolver). Your entity resolver will return an InputSource given
a public id and a system id (in your case the input source will be a
LocalFileInputSource). There is a sample called Redirect in the Xerces
distribution which does exactly what you describe. The sample uses SAX,
but setEntityResolver is a member of DOMParser as well. If your don't
recognize the id, just return NULL and the parser will take it's default
action.
