Method Detail

getResourceAsStream

public InputStream getResourceAsStream(String name)

Description copied from interface: IClassLoader

Finds a resource with the given name in the classpath of this classloader. This method returns null if no resource with this name is found.

The resource names can be represented in two different formats: absolute or relative.

Absolute format:

/packagePathName/resourceName

Relative format:

resourceName

In the absolute format, the programmer provides a fully qualified name that includes both the full path and the name of the resource inside the classpath. In the path names, the character "/" is used as the separator.

In the relative format, the programmer provides only the name of the actual resource. Relative names are converted to absolute names by the system by prefixing the resource name with the fully qualified package name of class upon which the getResourceAsStream method was called.

Specified by:

getResourceAsStream in interface IClassLoader

Parameters:

name - name of the desired resource

Returns:

a java.io.InputStream object

loadClass
