ClassPathResource and FileSystemResource

[kiran7881]

I COULD not understand what is meant by ClassPathResource (Implementation class of the Resource Interface )

How is this different from a FileSystemResource ??


The docs says that ClassPathResource takes the classpath . What exactly a classpath is meant and how is this different from the FileSystemResource.


Thanks in advance

ClasspathResource is something that can be loaded from the Classpath (the ClassLoader, actually) - maybe the resource comes from the file system, maybe from a jar, etc.
