## org.springframework.core.io
Class FileSystemResourceLoader

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.core.io.DefaultResourceLoader
          org.springframework.core.io.FileSystemResourceLoader

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ResourceLoader

    public class FileSystemResourceLoader

extends DefaultResourceLoader

`ResourceLoader` implementation that resolves plain paths as file system resources rather than as class path resources (the latter is `DefaultResourceLoader`'s default strategy).

NOTE: Plain paths will always be interpreted as relative to the current VM working directory, even if they start with a slash. (This is consistent with the semantics in a Servlet container.) Use an explicit "file:" prefix to enforce an absolute file path.

`FileSystemXmlApplicationContext` is a full-fledged ApplicationContext implementation that provides the same resource path resolution strategy.

Since:
  1.1.3
