Resources, names, and contexts
A resource is identified by a string consisting of a sequence of substrings, delimited by slashes (/), followed by a resource name. Each substring must be a valid Java identifier. The resource name is of the form or ShortName shortName.extension. Both ShortName and extension must be Java identifiers.
The name of a resource is independent of the Java implementation, in particular, the path separator is always a slash (/). However, the Java implementation controls the details of how the contents of the resource are mapped into a file, database, or other object containing the actual resource.
The interpretation of a resource name is related to a class loader instance. Methods implemented by the classloader class do this interpretation.
