Represents the complete set of resources for a web application. The resources
for a web application comprise of multiple ResourceSets and when looking for
a Resource, the ResourceSets are processed in the following order:
- Pre - Resources defined by the <PreResource> element in the web
application's context.xml. Resources will be searched in the order
they were specified.
- Main - The main resources for the web application - i.e. the WAR or the
directory containing the expanded WAR
- JARs - Resource JARs as defined by the Servlet specification. JARs will
be searched in the order they were added to the ResourceRoot.
- Post - Resources defined by the <PostResource> element in the web
application's context.xml. Resources will be searched in the order
they were specified.
The following conventions should be noted:
- Write operations (including delete) will only be applied to the main
ResourceSet. The write operation will fail if the presence of a Resource
in one of the other ResourceSets effectively makes the operation on the
main ResourceSet a NO-OP.
- A file in a ResourceSet will hide a directory of the same name (and all
the contents of that directory) in a ResourceSet that is later in the
search order.
- Only the main ResourceSet may define a META-INF/context.xml since that
file defines the Pre- and Post-Resources.
- As per the Servlet specification, any META-INF or WEB-INF directories in
a resource JAR will be ignored.
- Pre- and Post-Resources may define WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes in
order to make additional libraries and/or classes available to the web
application.
This mechanism replaces and extends the following features that were present
in earlier versions:
- Aliases - Replaced by Post-Resources with the addition of
support for single files as well as directories
and JARs.
- VirtualWebappLoader - Replaced by Pre- and Post-Resources mapped to
WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes
- VirtualDirContext - Replaced by Pre- and Post-Resources
- External repositories - Replaced by Pre- and Post-Resources mapped to
WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes
- Resource JARs - Same feature but implemented using the same
mechanism as all the other additional
resources.
