Description
How to access files from Clojure
- where is the path, is it relative or absolute
- does access work when code is packaged in jar files
slurp
clojure.java.io/resource
project/resourcesis the base path, so file and directory locations are relative to that (confirm this is correct, why does ring useproject/resources/public
clojure.java.io/file - avoid using file as this will not find the files when packaged in a Jar file, use resource instead

Research direction
Start by investigating the named entry points: slurp, clojure.java.io/resource, and clojure.java.io/file, along with the project/resources and project/resources/public paths. Verify relative versus absolute paths and behavior for files packaged in JARs; done means documenting clear, correct guidance for resource access and the Ring layout.
