Method Detail

locate

public IResourceStream locate(java.lang.Class clazz,
                              java.lang.String path)

Loads a resource, given a path and class. Typically this method is either called by external clients if they are not interested in a lookup that takes the style and locale into account, or it is called by the implementation of locate(Class, String, String, Locale, String) where the latter just takes care of trying out the different combinations for the provided style and locale and uses this method to actually load the resource stream.

Parameters:

clazz - The class loader for delegating the loading of the resource

path - The path of the resource

Returns:

The resource or null

                              java.lang.String extension)
