(3) and (4) are out, @Resource just uses the underlying web container and classloader to load resources.

Either (1) or (2) is correct.

I don't think we want #1. That puts the file in the public web directory. How about:

1b: the file should be moved to the classpath (WEB-INF/classes) so it can be injected with @Resource("security.drl")

2. Seam Security should inject from WEB-INF/security.drl

I think Seam Security should accommodate both 1b and 2. And thus, no change to the example.
