Kyle Marvin commented on BEEHIVE-121:
-------------------------------------
I'd probably phrase this enhancement request differently... but then maybe I'm
asking for something different than Jonathan, so I'll let him respond if he
thinks so:
I think what you really want is a contextual service that loads resources that
are packaged in some container-specific way that the control should really not
have to know or care about. Rather than saying that this is
ServletBeanContext exposing ServletContext.getResources more directly, it seems
like it would be something like a contextual service that looks like:
public interface ResourceLoaderContext
{
URL getResource(String path);
InputStream getResourceAsStream(String path)
}
The implementation of this contextual service _when run in the web tier_ would
be to access the ServletContext and use the getResources API. But for other
containers is might mean something different. For example in the EJB tier it
might mean the resource is bundled into the EJB jar file and use the EJB
classloader to access the resource.
A control that uses this service to load resources should not need to know the
physical mechanism used to load resources; but a developer using the control
in a particular context would likely need to understand enough to put the
resource files in the right place (in the webapp, or jarred w/ the ejb, etc).
> ServletBeanContext should expose ServletContext resources directly.

> ControlContainerContext should provide a getResource method that delegates to
> parent containers until a Context that is able to provide resources is found.
> For example, the ServletBeanContext would expose the getResource method from
> the ServletContext directly rather than requiring an individual control
> implementation to know it runs in a servlet context and call
> getService(ServletContext.class, null);
> on an instance of ControlBeanContext to load a resource from the context.
