Description

If we extend the class "ValidatorResources", then the loading of the digester rules does not work properly.

--------------------------------ValidatorResources--------------------------------------------------------
private Digester initDigester() {
URL rulesUrl = this.getClass().getResource("digester-rules.xml");
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above line tries to find the "digester-rules.xml" from the path of extending class and hence to make this work we need to
copy the digester rules xml file in the same pacakge as the extending class.

I think a better way might be is to accept a InputStream or URL for the digester rules in the constructor if someone wants to
have their custom digester rules, and by default if it's not provided it should always take from the ValidatorResources path
by changing the code

this.getClass().getResource("digester-rules.xml");

to

ValidatorResources.class.getResource("digester-rules.xml");

Thanks
