So then what is the reasoning behind the "!lockDir.isAbsolute())" statement below? Why can't this directory be relative? private FSDirectory(File path, boolean create) throws IOException { directory = path; lockDir = new File(LOCK_DIR); if (!lockDir.isAbsolute()) { lockDir = new File(directory, LOCK_DIR); } if (create) create(); if (!directory.isDirectory()) throw new IOException(path + " not a directory"); } > The tomcat sets the java.io.tmpdir to "..\temp", so that's the > cause of the > problem thougth. Do you think this raise any backward compatibility concerns?
