| 6 | <p>The <strong>Resources</strong> element represents the <em>web |
|---|
| 7 | application static resources</em>, from which classes will be loaded, |
|---|
| 8 | HTML, JSP and the other static files will be served. This allows the webapp |
|---|
| 9 | to reside on various mediums other than the filesystem, like compressed |
|---|
| 10 | in a WAR file, in a JDBC database, or in a more advanced versioning |
|---|
| 11 | repository.</p> |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | <p>A unified caching engine is provided for all accesses to the webapp |
|---|
| 14 | resources made by the servlet container and web applications which use the |
|---|
| 15 | container provided mechanisms to access such resources, such as class laoder |
|---|
| 16 | access, access through the <code>ServletContext</code> interface, or native |
|---|
| 17 | access through the <code>DirectoryContext</code> interface.</p> |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | <p><strong>Note: Running a webapp with non-filesystem based |
|---|
| 20 | Resources implementations is only possible when the webapp does not |
|---|
| 21 | rely on direct filesystem access to its own resources, and uses the methods |
|---|
| 22 | in the ServletContext interface to access them.</strong></p> |
|---|
| 23 | |

| 24 | <p>A Resources element MAY be nested inside a |

|---|
| 26 | a default filesystem based Resources will be created automatically, |
