And you want to ... be handled through your entity resolver? In that 
case you must resolve entity manually as JAXP doesn't use EntityResolver 
for parse method:

parser.parse(er.resolveEntity("", "..."), handler);

Your entity resolver should be used for resolving all entites in your 
files (like external DTD, external text entities, ...) automatically. If 
not, something is wrong with either your entity resolver or your parser.
