I took a look at updating this to use JBossEntityResolver which is in 
jboss-common. I just noticed though that the jboss cache schema is using 
the empty namespace, which is a problem since there is only 1 empty 
namespace. We should instead be using a schema that has a defined target 
namespace. Then entity resolution will be able to resolve it based on 
that namespace. This is going to require changes to the schema, the 
parsing code, and all configs.
