one needs to start the servlet container within the directory where the segments directory is located.
Because I often forget this I receive a NullPointerException and then after some time I remember that I started Tomcat from the wrong directory.
I think it would make sense if the segments directory could be specified within
the web.xml and also in case the segments directory cannot be found a "nice" Exception
would be thrown telling one what might be wrong.
Sounds good to me. Would you like to prepare a patch?
