/**
* Interface for resolving references to resources.
*
* Most resources can be resolved using standard ClassLoader.getResource code. However
* some environments have specialized resource areas which are inaccessible to
* ClassLoader. For example, Web environments have /WEB-INF/ which can
* only be accessed through ServletContext. Similarly, Android environments must
* resolve resources using Context.getResources.
*
* Note: this class is not located under org.metawidget.iface, because GWT does not
* like java.io.InputStream.
