This is also a problem with WebLogic 6.1 and 7.0 (have not tested on other
versions).
More specifically, when an application is deployed as a .war the
getRealPath()
will not work as resources within a .war file do not have real paths.
Instead,
these resources should be accessed via the getResource (ServletContext)
method. The Cocoon project has mentioned this issue a few times also.
I am posting this to the group because it seems like a lot of people have
had this problem and search engines should pick this up.
I've also logged this as an extension to Bug 10512. I believe this is a
blocker before removing the 'beta' tag from Axis 1.0. I've left the
severity as 'normal' since I thought issues should be moved to blocker
status only by Axis people, but I did set the priority to 'high'.
