public static java.net.URL getResource(javax.servlet.ServletContext context,
                                       java.util.Locale locale,
                                       java.lang.String uri)
                                throws java.net.MalformedURLException,
                                       java.util.MissingResourceException

Searches for a resource in a way similar to ResourceBundle. It tries to match the language and country codes. Example: with path "/test.xml", language "en" and country "US" the following resources will be searched:

1. test_en_US.xml
2. test_en.xml
3. test.xml

Implementation note: the search results will be cached, so you have to restart the servlet after adding or removing files.

Throws:

java.util.MissingResourceException - if no resource is found

java.net.MalformedURLException
