You are right ... there should be such mechanisms. What you need was added to the
version 2.1 API specification for servlets, in the form of
ServletContext.getResource(). However, at this point in time, Apache JServ
version 1.0b4 supports only the 2.0 API, which does not include this capability.
Work is in progress on 2.1 compatibility for Apache JServ version 1.1. Volunteers
are needed to complete the coding, testing, and documentation.
