I would say: lets keep things simple. Fetching 'resource' can be easily done
with the ClassLoader, and I don't feel like overriding anything there to
make it possible to put resources in WEB-INF/myapplicions or somethings like
that. Please simply put them in WEB-INF/classes/nl/omroep/myapplications and
everything goes all right.
Of course we can make a fall back machanism with abritrary directories in
WEB_INF (simply opened as files), but I think having simply one (using mmbase
config directory) is complicated enough.
IMHO using resources is more than acute enough to distinguish private,
third-party and mmbase resources.
