I don't understand why ResourceService should provide these methods.
It's supposed to give access to configuration information not context
information.
It's cleaner to create a specific service for providing URL->path
resolution, or
more generally context services.
Also be aware that getResource() may have unexpected behavior depending
on your servlet runner, for example WebSphere returns "classpath:..."' URLs
when you use getResource().
