You can also consider using ServletContext.getResource() to accomplish this
objective. The difference is that you specify a context-relative URL for your
HTML or image file, instead of trying to locate the resource file within your
classpath. This is especially useful when you are accessing a resource file
that also might be addressed separately from a client browser.
