If you are referring to the Class methods "getResource" and
"getResourceAsStream", i.e. the stuff that Radu-Adrian mentioned, I must
admit that there's a minor flaw in PL/Java at present. The resource
finder semantics are not yet implemented in the ClassLoader.

The behavior that will be implemented in the coming release is to mimic
the behavior of the standard Java ClassLoader and resolve the resource
the same way as the class is resolved, i.e. by consulting the classpath.
In PL/Java, the classpath is defined for the schema where the executing
function is defined (as set by the function set_classpath).
