Class WebResourceLocator

java.lang.Object
  org.jboss.solder.servlet.resource.WebResourceLocator

public class WebResourceLocator
extends Object

A utility for classes that need to access web resources.

This class provides a way to obtain the location of web resources without using the ServletContext. This is especially interesting for extensions that are executed very early in the CDI startup process because the ServletContext may not be available in this stage.

The class makes use of the WebResourceLocationProvider SPI to actually find the resources. This allows to write custom implementations optimized for specific environments.
