using route/files vs route/resources in ring / compojure

Question

What is the difference in using -

(route/files "/" {:root "yeoman/app"})

(route/resources "/" {:root "yeoman/app"})

for setting the root of the static folder ?

Thanks, Murtaza

resources, like clojure.java.io/resource, will work relative to your classpath and can get your data even if its in a jar/war instead of on the local file system.
