Summary: Java-Webstart download servlet

Initial Comment:
Using the Java WebStart jnlp-servlet.jar fails on 
Jboss 3 (but worked on 2.4.0).

The jnlp-servlet.jar that is used to handle version 
request in Java webStart fails because of it's 
dependency on getRealPath() to cretae File references 
e.g.:

// s == /app/lib
File file = new File(_servletContext.getRealPath(s));

This will faile since getRealPath() returns null 
resulting in a nullpointer exception which will make 
it impossible to download versioned jars.

The documentation for ServletContext says that 
getRealPath will return null if the application is 
packaged in a war so maybe this is a problem with the 
JBoss deployer?

Here's the stackTrace :

I have the same problem when I deploy my site.  

I have found that it only returns null if I use the tomcat version 
of jboss.  If I use the jetty version everything works great and I 
get a large path to my site.
