We make use of these methods in the LocalResourceServer.

public class LocalResourceServer extends ResourceServerBasics {

    public Resource[] getResources(Category category) {
        File[] files = getCatFile(category).listFiles(resourceFilter);
        if (files == null) {
            return new Resource[0];
        }
        Resource[] resources = new Resource[files.length];
        for (int i = 0; i < resources.length; i++) {
            resources[i] = new LocalResource(this, files[i]);
        }
        return resources;
    }
}
