Well, i guess it depends on the treatment of the war file. On tomcat for
eaxmple where the WAR file is unpacked for execution, getResource() acts as
though you were running the app using a standard unpack class hierarchy.
When I call get resource, the path of the resource is the full system path,
e.g. on windows something like
"C:/java/tomcat/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes/com/company/product/MyClass.cl
ass"

Subject: ServletContext.getResource()
> I have a question about getResource(). When calling getResource() on a
web

root
