FileSystemResourceLoader (Spring Framework 3.2.1.RELEASE API)
Date: 2013-01-24

org.springframework.core.io

## Class FileSystemResourceLoader

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.core.io.DefaultResourceLoader
  - - org.springframework.core.io.FileSystemResourceLoader

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ResourceLoader

      public class FileSystemResourceLoader
      extends DefaultResourceLoader

  `ResourceLoader` implementation that resolves plain paths as file system resources rather than as class path resources (the latter is `DefaultResourceLoader`'s default strategy).

  NOTE: Plain paths will always be interpreted as relative to the current VM working directory, even if they start with a slash. (This is consistent with the semantics in a Servlet container.) Use an explicit "file:" prefix to enforce an absolute file path.

  `FileSystemXmlApplicationContext` is a full-fledged ApplicationContext implementation that provides the same resource path resolution strategy.

  Since:
    1.1.3
