getResource and getResources are two different methods used to fetch resources from the classpath.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The method getResource(String name) is used to retrieve a resource with a specific name. It returns a URL object that points to the resource with the specified name. This method is implemented by calling the getResource method of the class loader associated with the given resource.<\/li>\n
  2. The getResources(String name) method is used to obtain all resources with a specified name. It returns an Enumeration object that contains the URL of all resources with the specified name. This method is implemented by calling the getResources method of the class loader associated with the given resource.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
