| If the snap needs to lookup any resources, this can be done in the normal way and if the resource cannot be found in the snap, |
| then the host will be checked. Remember that a host and all its snaps use a single <code class="literal">ServletContext</code>. As the |
| snap is always checked first it can hide resources at the same path in its host. So if you want to look up a resource in the |
| snaps host that exists in the snap simply prefix the path with <code class="code">host:</code>. This will then cause the Snaps system to |
| bypass the snap and look only in its host for the requested resource. If it is not found in its host the snap will NOT be |
| checked, the lookup will return with nothing. |

| </p><p> |
| This line of Java code gets the ServletContext from the HttpRequest object and then tries to get a resource from the host, |
| bypassing the snap. |
