I found I have to use ClassLoader and create an input stream to the desired
file. From there I can attach a reader, then use a writer to send the
contents to the response object. Makes a framework for common tasks, like
accessing resource files, necessary. Unfortunately BMC has slapped
copyrights with the labels 'proprietary' and 'confidential' on their 'free'
source code, meaning I will have to reinvent the wheel to write any 'free'
software. It would have been logical to include this specific framework
(resource file handling) in the dv plugin architecture; maybe in the next
version.

Not much to help, but I see BMC does exactly the same with the Calendar
module.
The only difference is that they are using the HTML writer class to
print the html code.
--------------------
private void insertScriptingSupport(Map map, HTMLWriter htmlwriter)
{
htmlwriter.openTag("script");
htmlwriter.attr("type", "text/javascript");
String s = (String)map.get(ModelKeys.CONTEXT_PATH);
BrowserType browsertype = (BrowserType)map.get(
ModelKeys.BROWSER_TYPE);
StringBuffer stringbuffer = new StringBuffer(s);
stringbuffer.append("/resources/javascript/");
stringbuffer.append(browsertype.getAbbrev());
stringbuffer.append("/date-picker/DatePicker.js");
htmlwriter.attr("src", stringbuffer.toString());
htmlwriter.endTag();
htmlwriter.closeTag("script");
htmlwriter.openTag("script");
htmlwriter.attr("type", "text/javascript");
htmlwriter.endTag();
insertLocalizedMonthNames(map, htmlwriter);
String s1 = getCurrentPickerDateAsJS(map);
htmlwriter.append("var datePickerCal = new Calendar(");
htmlwriter.append(s1);
htmlwriter.append(", new MonthLabeler());\n");
htmlwriter.closeTag("script");
}
