Class ResourceUtils


  • public abstract class ResourceUtils
    extends java.lang.Object
    Utility methods for resolving resource locations to files in the file system. Mainly for internal use within the framework.

    Consider using Spring's Resource abstraction in the core package for handling all kinds of file resources in a uniform manner. org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader @code getResource() method can resolve any location to a org.springframework.core.io.Resource object, which in turn allows one to obtain a java.io.File in the file system through its getFile() method.

    The main reason for these utility methods for resource location handling is to support Log4jConfigurer, which must be able to resolve resource locations before the logging system has been initialized. Spring's Resource abstraction in the core package, on the other hand, already expects the logging system to be available.
