/**
*
* This class demonstrates how to view static resources
* within a web application. It is a URL based scheme
* for reading resources within the web application. This
* makes it a more portable solution than the usual
* getPathTranslated() technique that deals exclusively
* with files.
*
* This class caters for web applications deployed as WAR
* files and those that are distributed across machines.
*
* Note that this is not a production level implementation
* and really opens up your web application to anyone. It
* is only meant as a demonstration of how to use
* getServletContext().getResource() for reading resources
* within a web application.
*
* Use As Follows:
* http://<server>:<port>/<web-app>/servlet/<servlet path>/file_to_view
*
* For example to view my index.jsp page in my web apps root directory
*
* http://localhost:8080/ack/vf/index.jsp
*
* where /vf/* is mapped to the com.ack.web.servlet.ReadingFromAnAbstractResource
