Not necessarily ... it depends on which getResource() or
getResourceAsStream()
method you are actually calling.
If you call the methods defined on ServletContext, then you are correct
... the
resources you reference must be stored in the local web application
archive file.
On the other hand, if you call the methods of the same name from the
Class or
ClassLoader classes, you can reference resources that are co-located
with the
corresponding class files themselves, no matter how or where they were
accessed.
