Constructor Detail

ServletContextResource

public ServletContextResource(javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext,
                              java.lang.String path)

Create a new ServletContextResource.

The Servlet spec requires that resource paths start with a slash, even if many containers accept paths without leading slash too. Consequently, the given path will be prepended with a slash if it doesn't already start with one.

Parameters:

servletContext - the ServletContext to load from

path - the path of the resource

getInputStream

public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

This implementation delegates to ServletContext.getResourceAsStream, but throws a FileNotFoundException if not found.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the stream could not be opened
