Have shapefiles and coverages behave the same, please. Suggestion: relative path names (without starting /) are appended to data dir, absolute pathnames are absolute pathnames. Have a default data dir that is logical and not intermixing with other stuff/dirs, I think webapps/geoserver/data would be good. One immediately knows that it is a data holding dir, contrary to just webapps/geoserver.
