ClassPathResource (Grails 6.0.0)

Package: org.grails.io.support

## [Java] Class ClassPathResource

- org.grails.io.support.ClassPathResource

-     public class ClassPathResource
      extends AbstractFileResolvingResource

  Resource implementation for class path resources. Uses either a given ClassLoader or a given Class for loading resources.

  Supports resolution as `java.io.File` if the class path resource resides in the file system, but not for resources in a JAR. Always supports resolution as URL.

    `` | `public boolean` | `exists()` This implementation checks for the resolution of a resource URL.
    `` | `public final java.lang.ClassLoader` | `getClassLoader()` Return the ClassLoader that this resource will be obtained from.
    `` | `public java.lang.String` | `getDescription()` This implementation returns a description that includes the class path location.
    `` | `public java.lang.String` | `getFilename()` This implementation returns the name of the file that this class path resource refers to.
    `` | `public java.io.InputStream` | `getInputStream()` This implementation opens an InputStream for the given class path resource.
    `` | `public final java.lang.String` | `getPath()` Return the path for this resource (as resource path within the class path).
    `` | `public java.net.URI` | `getURI()`
    `` | `public java.net.URL` | `getURL()` This implementation returns a URL for the underlying class path resource.
    `` | `public int` | `hashCode()` This implementation returns the hash code of the underlying class path location.

    - #### private java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader

    - #### private java.lang.Class<?> clazz

    - #### private final java.lang.String path

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### public ClassPathResource(java.lang.String path)

      Create a new ClassPathResource for ClassLoader usage. A leading slash will be removed, as the ClassLoader resource access methods will not accept it.

      The thread context class loader will be used for loading the resource.

      Parameters:
        `path` - the absolute path within the class path
      See Also:
        java.lang.ClassLoader#getResourceAsStream(String)

    - #### public ClassPathResource(java.lang.String path, java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader)

      Create a new ClassPathResource for ClassLoader usage. A leading slash will be removed, as the ClassLoader resource access methods will not accept it.

      Parameters:
        `path` - the absolute path within the classpath
        `classLoader` - the class loader to load the resource with, or `null` for the thread context class loader
      See Also:
        java.lang.ClassLoader#getResourceAsStream(String)

    - #### public ClassPathResource(java.lang.String path, java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

      Create a new ClassPathResource for Class usage. The path can be relative to the given class, or absolute within the classpath via a leading slash.

      Parameters:
        `path` - relative or absolute path within the class path
        `clazz` - the class to load resources with
      See Also:
        java.lang.Class#getResourceAsStream

    - #### protected ClassPathResource(java.lang.String path, java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader, java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

      Create a new ClassPathResource with optional ClassLoader and Class. Only for internal usage.

      Parameters:
        `path` - relative or absolute path within the classpath
        `classLoader` - the class loader to load the resource with, if any
        `clazz` - the class to load resources with, if any

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### public Resource createRelative(java.lang.String relativePath)
