Is there an EntityResolver equivalent for xsd imports?

[Mark Wright]

I'm using java 1.4 and xerces and I'm having problems validating XML.
I want to be able to override XSD retrieval (eventually, they will be
in a JAR file). This works fine when the XSD I'm validating doesn't
"import" other XSDs - I just assign a custom entity resolver. But if
those XSDs then import other XSDs, the entity resolver isn't called
for the imported XSD. Xerces tries to resolve the schemaLocation as a
URL, without letting my code redirect the reference.

Is there a solution to this problem?

This is the code I'm using:
