[cross posting to interest lists in case others have run
into the same issue]
ahhh ... interesting. it looks like there might be a problem
with specifying absolute docBase parameters on jdk 1.1.x/win
which appears to be resolved by running on jdk 1.3.x and most
likely on 1.2.x.
file based urls on jdk1.1.x/win has been a vexing problem.
looks like we may need to look at applying some of the patch
logic to the docBase parameter as well.
hope this helps,
- james
