Bug #: 51799
Summary: servletContext.getRealPath("/someFolderThatDoesNotExis
t/") should return null
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: 7.0.21
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Servlet & JSP API
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
ReportedBy: m...@vorburger.ch
Classification: Unclassified
Tomcat (v7.0.21 at least) returns the absolute file path where a folder "would
have been" for servletContext.getRealPath("/someFolderThatDoesNotExist/").
Jetty (v7.3.0) returns null in such cases (so it only returns resources, or
folder, that are actually available in the directory where the expanded WAR
is); see also http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/jetty-dev/msg00773.html
The Servlet Spec doesn't clearly say either way - what Jetty does seems more
logical to me... and is also the assumption made e.g. in BIRT; for more
background see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=357315 &
http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-5118.
