Description copied from interface: ResourceResolver

Process a resource request to deliver a resource

Specified by:

resolve in interface ResourceResolver

Parameters:

request - the resource request

Returns:

the returned Source; or null to delegate resolution to another resolver. The type of Source must correspond to the type of resource requested: for non-XML resources, it should generally be a StreamSource.

Throws:

XPathException - if the request is invalid in some way, or if the identified resource is unsuitable, or if resolution is to fail rather than being delegated to another resolver.
