Java中，不同來源的資源抽象成URL，通過注冊不同的handler（URLStreamHandler)來處理不同來源的資源的讀取邏輯。一般handler的類型使用不同的前綴（協議，protocal）來識別，如：“file：”、“http：“、”jar：”等。
對於Spring，URL沒有定義相應的，如“classpath：“的handler，定義也相對麻煩，Spring對配置文件的讀取做了相應的封裝，通過Resource接口來抽象底層資源。如下：
/**
* Interface for a resource descriptor that abstracts from the actual
* type of underlying resource, such as a file or class path resource.
*
* <p>An InputStream can be opened for every resource if it exists in
* physical form, but a URL or File handle can just be returned for
* certain resources. The actual behavior is implementation-specific.
*
* @author Juergen Hoeller

* @see #getURL()
* @see #getURI()
* @see #getFile()
* @see WritableResource
* @see ContextResource

*/
public interface Resource extends InputStreamSource {
/**
* Return whether this resource actually exists in physical form.
* <p>This method performs a definitive existence check, whereas the
* existence of a {@code Resource} handle only guarantees a
* valid descriptor handle.
*/
boolean exists();
/**
* Return whether the contents of this resource can be read,
* e.g. via {@link #getInputStream()} or {@link #getFile()}.
* <p>Will be {@code true} for typical resource descriptors;
* note that actual content reading may still fail when attempted.
* However, a value of {@code false} is a definitive indication
* that the resource content cannot be read.
* @see #getInputStream()
*/
boolean isReadable();
/**
* Return whether this resource represents a handle with an open
* stream. If true, the InputStream cannot be read multiple times,
* and must be read and closed to avoid resource leaks.
* <p>Will be {@code false} for typical resource descriptors.
*/
boolean isOpen();
/**
* Return a URL handle for this resource.
* @throws IOException if the resource cannot be resolved as URL,
* i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor
*/
URL getURL() throws IOException;
/**
* Return a URI handle for this resource.
* @throws IOException if the resource cannot be resolved as URI,
* i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor
*/
URI getURI() throws IOException;
/**
* Return a File handle for this resource.
* @throws IOException if the resource cannot be resolved as absolute
* file path, i.e. if the resource is not available in a file system
*/
File getFile() throws IOException;
/**
* Determine the content length for this resource.
* @throws IOException if the resource cannot be resolved
* (in the file system or as some other known physical resource type)
*/
long contentLength() throws IOException;
/**
* Determine the last-modified timestamp for this resource.
* @throws IOException if the resource cannot be resolved
* (in the file system or as some other known physical resource type)
*/
long lastModified() throws IOException;
/**
* Create a resource relative to this resource.
* @param relativePath the relative path (relative to this resource)
* @return the resource handle for the relative resource
* @throws IOException if the relative resource cannot be determined
*/
Resource createRelative(String relativePath) throws IOException;
/**
* Determine a filename for this resource, i.e. typically the last
* part of the path: for example, "myfile.txt".
* <p>Returns {@code null} if this type of resource does not
* have a filename.
*/
String getFilename();
/**
* Return a description for this resource,
* to be used for error output when working with the resource.
* <p>Implementations are also encouraged to return this value
* from their {@code toString} method.
* @see Object#toString()
*/
String getDescription();

對於不同來源的資源文件都有相應的Resource實現，文件（FileSystemResource）、Classpath資源（ClassPathResource）、URL資源（UrlResource）、InputStream資源（InputStreamResource）、Byte數組資源（ByteArrayResource）等。
