Looking for a file doesn't work without "file:"

Question

I'm testing web-flow, and i need to found xml file that contains application's flow. But I really don't understand why is necessary put file: before the path, why is this necessary?

declaration path:

protected static final String ARREL_FLOWS = "file:src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/flow/";
protected static final String FLOW_CONSULTA_DEUTE = ARREL_FLOWS +"consultaDeutes/consultaDeutes.xml";

Code to test the path flow:

@Test
    @Override
    protected FlowDefinitionResource getResource(FlowDefinitionResourceFactory resourceFactory) {
         FlowDefinitionResource resource = resourceFactory.createResource(FLOW_CONSULTA_DEUTE);
         Assert.assertNotNull(resource);
         return resource;
     }

this is py project estrucuture: enter image description here

OK I find out why! i feel like a monkey.. well:

If don't wanna put the word file: i necessary use the method:

  resource = resourceFactory.createFileResource(getPathRecursFlowProvatura());

not

FlowDefinitionResource resource = resourceFactory.createResource(FLOW_CONSULTA_DEUTE);
