#9 Access to XAR resources

[KirstanVandersluis]

Users can deploy auxiliary files (WSDL, XSD, etc) with a deployment package (XAR files). These files are then accessible by using the utility service xaware/resource/get.xbd, available in the XAwareCommon add-on project. But the way the resource is specified, as an input parameter, makes relative references within XSD files inaccessible. We need a better general way to access these resources that will allow relative references from WSDL to XSD and XSD to XSD to work properly.

It might be possible to configure the URI remapping feature in XAware 5 to achieve this already, but we need to investigate and provide examples. If that turns out not to work, we'll probably want a new servlet to access resources. Such a servlet should be fairly simple to implement, and will basically call the resource manager with the resource name, applying built-in security as part of the process.
