  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getDataPath

          String getDataPath()

      Gets the data path used to resolve relative paths. More than one directory may be specified by separating them with the System `path.separator` character (; on windows, : on UNIX). Elements of this path may be absolute or relative file paths.
      Returns:
        the data path

    - #### setDataPath

          void setDataPath(String aPath)
                    throws MalformedURLException

      Sets the data path used to resolve relative paths. More than one directory may be specified by separating them with the System `path.separator` character (; on windows, : on UNIX). Elements of this path may be absolute or relative file paths.
      Parameters:
        `aPath` - the data path
      Throws:
        `MalformedURLException` - if a file path could not be converted to a URL

    - #### resolveRelativePath

          URL resolveRelativePath(URL aRelativeUrl)

      Resolves a relative URL to an absolute URL. This will attempt to resolve the URL relative to each element of the data path, sequentially starting with the first element. If this results in an absolute URL at which a file actually exists, that absolute URL is returned. If no file could be found, `null` is returned.
      Parameters:
        `aRelativeUrl` - the relative URL to be resolved (if an absolute URL is specified, it will be returned unmodified if a file actually exists at the URL; otherwise `null` will be returned).
      Returns:
        the absolute URL at which the file exists, `null` it none could be found.

    - #### setPathResolverClassLoader

          void setPathResolverClassLoader(ClassLoader aClassLoader)

      Sets the ClassLoader that should be used to resolve the resources.
      Parameters:
        `aClassLoader` - the ClassLoader that should be used to resolve the resources.
