Remarks
The contents of resources are stored in either the application database or the data warehouse database, depending on the type of resource. Occasionally, code which needs to use the resource requires it to be a file on the physical disk rather than a byte stream. This method facilitates this scenario by automatically reading the bytes from the appropriate database and creating a physical file from the byte stream. The path to the file is returned.
