After a bit of encouragement this week I am almost ready to submit the Managed
File API proposal.
Before I do I wanted a to ask for the historical background on
GeoServerResourceLoader "search locations".
Reviewing the code we end up with the following:
1) base directory (determined using lookupGeoServerDataDirectory)
2) base directory / data (is this for backwards compatibility?)
4) application context / WEB-INF
3) application context /
5) absolute file references: the API supports the use of find( parent, location
) - which performs a check for absolute file references. I cannot find much
evidence that this is used - code such as security or style pass in the
appropriate data directory folder.
Search locations recorded as a Set<File> so no order is assumed when searching
(so using search locations to "override" data directory settings would not work)
