                                          throws java.io.IOException

Returns an enumeration of resources. Unlike getDependentXMLResources(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String), it doesn't resolve the dependence among the resources.

Parameters:

name - the resource name, such as "metainfo/config.xml".

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getDependentXMLResources

                                                                      java.lang.String elName,

                                                               throws java.io.IOException

Returns a list of resources (XMLResourcesLocator.Resource) after resolving the dependence. The resource is returned in the format of XMLResourcesLocator.Resource

To resolve the dependence, it assumes each resource has two element whose name is identified by elName and elDepends. The elName element specifies the unique name of each resource. The elDepends element specifies a list of names of resources that this resource depends on. If not found, it assumes it could be loaded first.

Parameters:

name - the resource name, such as "metainfo/config.xml".

elName - the element used to specify the name.

elDepends - the element used to specify the dependence.

Returns:

a list of XMLResourcesLocator.Resource of the specified name.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
