public interface ResourceLoader
org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext
 is required to provide this functionality, plus extended
 ResourcePatternResolver support.
 DefaultResourceLoader is a standalone implementation that is
 usable outside an ApplicationContext, also used by ResourceEditor.
 
Bean properties of type Resource and Resource array can be populated from Strings when running in an ApplicationContext, using the particular context's resource loading strategy.

The handle should always be a reusable resource descriptor,
 allowing for multiple InputStreamSource.getInputStream() calls.
 
Note that a Resource handle does not imply an existing resource;
 you need to invoke Resource.exists() to check for existence.
