public interface Resource extends InputStreamSource
An InputStream can be opened for every resource if it exists in physical form, but a URL or File handle can just be returned for certain resources. The actual behavior is implementation-specific.

boolean |
isReadable()
Return whether the contents of this resource can be read,
e.g.
|
long |
lastModified()
Determine the last-modified timestamp for this resource.

getInputStream
boolean exists()
This method performs a definitive existence check, whereas the
existence of a Resource
handle only guarantees a
valid descriptor handle.
boolean isReadable()
InputStreamSource.getInputStream()
or getFile()
.
Will be true
for typical resource descriptors;
note that actual content reading may still fail when attempted.
However, a value of false
is a definitive indication
that the resource content cannot be read.
InputStreamSource.getInputStream()
boolean isOpen()
Will be false
for typical resource descriptors.

Returns null
if this type of resource does not
have a filename.
java.lang.String getDescription()
Implementations are also encouraged to return this value
from their toString
method.
