Constructor Detail

### ResourceLocator

    public ResourceLocator()

  Creates new ResourceLocator with default lookup policy including user home directory, current directory and CLASSPATH.

Method Detail

### findResourceInClasspath

    public static InputStream findResourceInClasspath(String name)

  Returns a resource as InputStream if it is found in CLASSPATH or `null` otherwise. Lookup is normally performed in all JAR and ZIP files and directories available to the ClassLoader.

### findResourceInFileSystem

    public static InputStream findResourceInFileSystem(String name)

  Returns a resource as InputStream if it is found in the filesystem or `null` otherwise. Lookup is first performed relative to the user's home directory (as defined by "user.home" system property), and then relative to the current directory.

### findFileInFileSystem

    public static File findFileInFileSystem(String name)

  Looks up a file in the filesystem. First looks in the user home directory, then in the current directory.

  Returns:
    file object matching the name, or null if file can not be found or if it is not readable.
  See Also:
    `findFileInHomeDirectory(String)`, `findFileInCurrentDirectory(String)`

### findFileInHomeDirectory

    public static File findFileInHomeDirectory(String name)

  Looks up a file in the user home directory.

  Returns:
    file object matching the name, or `null` if `file` cannot be found or is not readable.

### findFileInCurrentDirectory

    public static File findFileInCurrentDirectory(String name)

  Looks up a file in the current directory.

  Returns:
    file object matching the name, or `null` if `file` can not be found is not readable.

### findURLInClasspath

    public static URL findURLInClasspath(String name)

  Looks up the URL for the named resource using this class' ClassLoader.

### findURLInClassLoader

    public static URL findURLInClassLoader(String name,
                                           ClassLoader loader)

  Looks up the URL for the named resource using the specified ClassLoader.

### classBaseUrl

    public static String classBaseUrl(Class aClass)

  Returns a base URL as a String from which this class was loaded. This is normally a JAR or a file URL, but it is ClassLoader dependent.

### findResourceStream

    public InputStream findResourceStream(String name)

  Returns an InputStream on the found resource using the lookup strategy configured for this ResourceLocator or `null` if no readable resource can be found for the given name.

### findResource

    public URL findResource(String name)

  Returns a resource URL using the lookup strategy configured for this Resourcelocator or `null` if no readable resource can be found for the given name.

### findDirectoryResource

    public URL findDirectoryResource(String name)

  Returns a directory resource URL using the lookup strategy configured for this ResourceLocator or `null` if no readable resource can be found for the given name. The returned resource is assumed to be a directory, so the returned URL will be in a directory format (with "/" at the end).

### willSkipHomeDirectory

    public boolean willSkipHomeDirectory()

  Returns true if no lookups are performed in the user home directory.

### setSkipHomeDirectory

    public void setSkipHomeDirectory(boolean skipHomeDir)

  Sets "skipHomeDirectory" property.

### willSkipCurrentDirectory

    public boolean willSkipCurrentDirectory()

  Returns true if no lookups are performed in the current directory.

### setSkipCurrentDirectory

    public void setSkipCurrentDirectory(boolean skipCurDir)

  Sets "skipCurrentDirectory" property.

### willSkipClasspath

    public boolean willSkipClasspath()

  Returns true if no lookups are performed in the classpath.

### setSkipClasspath

    public void setSkipClasspath(boolean skipClasspath)

  Sets "skipClasspath" property.

### getClassLoader

    public ClassLoader getClassLoader()

  Returns the ClassLoader associated with this ResourceLocator.

### setClassLoader

    public void setClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)

  Sets ClassLoader used to locate resources. If `null` is passed, the ClassLoader of the ResourceLocator class will be used.

### willSkipAbsolutePath

    public boolean willSkipAbsolutePath()

  Returns true if no lookups are performed using path as absolute path.

### setSkipAbsolutePath

    public void setSkipAbsolutePath(boolean skipAbsPath)

  Sets "skipAbsolutePath" property.

### addClassPath

    public void addClassPath(String customPath)

  Adds a custom path for class path lookups. Format should be "my/package/name" without leading "/".

### addFilesystemPath

    public void addFilesystemPath(String path)

  Adds the given String as a custom path for filesystem lookups. The path can be relative or absolute and is not checked for existence.

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `path` is `null`.

### addFilesystemPath

    public void addFilesystemPath(File path)

  Adds the given directory as a path for filesystem lookups. The directory is checked for existence.

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `path` is `null`, not a directory or not readable.
