I would distinguish the following capabilities: 1. Providing information to the application about entity references. This would be appropriate to include XmlAppBase class if it was felt important enough. 2. Allowing public ids to be mapped to URLs. 3. Allowing URLs to be remapped. I don't think 2 and 3 should be bundled into the XmlAppBase interface. Rather they should be provided as a separate XmlEntityManager interface, because I will often want to use the same XmlEntityManager implementation with many apps, and I may want to use different XmlEntityManager implementations with the same app. The XmlEntityManager I want depends on how the document is stored, and that is independent of the document's logical structure which is what will for the most part drive the application's processing. For example, I might want to provide an XmlEntityManager implementation that implements RFC 2110 and allows all the entities of an XML document to be combined into a single multipart/related MIME body.
