Kevan Miller commented on GERONIMO-5743:
----------------------------------------
In my opinion, we need to treat this as a high priority. Many apps assume that
getRealPath() will provide a meaningful result (non-null and usable). We're
going to need to resolve this issue...

> Key: GERONIMO-5743
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5743
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: web
> Affects Versions: 3.0-M2
> Reporter: Jarek Gawor
>
> In 3.0 M1 and trunk, ServletContext.getRealPath() returns null. In previous
> versions of Geronimo a real path was returned. Returning null is ok from
> specification point of view but it breaks compatibility for applications. It
> also looks like there are a number of web applications that rely on the
> getRealPath() to return a non-null value. One such application is Nexus web
> app.
