getResourceUrl

public static URL getResourceUrl(FacesContext ctx,
                                 String path)
                          throws MalformedURLException

Get an URL of an internal resource. First, ExternalContext.getResource(String) is checked for an non-null URL return value. In the case of a null return value (as it is the case for Weblogic 8.1 for a packed war), a URL with a special URL handler is constructed, which can be used for opening a serlvet resource later. Internally, this special URL handler will call ServletContext.getResourceAsStream(String) when an inputstream is requested. This works even on Weblogic 8.1

Parameters:

ctx - the faces context from which to retrieve the resource

path - an URL path

Returns:

an url representing the URL and on which getInputStream() can be called to get the resource

Throws:

MalformedURLException
