Accessing a file from a Serializer?

[Michael Schuerig <mi...@schuerig.de>]

In a serializer, I would like to implement writeSchema by reading in a 
file that contains the schema definition. I have the file anyway and 
this way consistency is ensured. Using Types.loadInputSchema(URL) 
things could be really easy. If only I could obtain a URL pointing to 
my file. ServletContext.getResource(path) would help a lot -- but how 
do I get hold of the relevant ServletContext instance?

    public Element writeSchema( Class javaType, Types types )
        throws Exception {
        if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(_schemaName)) {
            URL schemaURL = getClass().getResource(_schemaName);
            if (schemaURL != null) {
                types.loadInputSchema(schemaURL.toString());
            } else {
                logger.error("No XML schema file found for name: " +
                         _schemaName);
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
