Method Detail

getResource

public static java.net.URL getResource(java.lang.String resource)

This method will search for resource in different places. The rearch order is as follows:

1. Search for resource using the thread context class loader under Java2. If that fails, search for resource using the class loader that loaded this class (Loader). Under JDK 1.1, only the the class loader that loaded this class (Loader) is used.

2. Try one last time with ClassLoader.getSystemResource(resource), that is is using the system class loader in JDK 1.2 and virtual machine's built-in class loader in JDK 1.1.
