Hiyas,
I'm just getting started using Turbine on JBoss 3.0 with an eye toward deploying
Jetspeed there.
The first problem I have run into is that Turbine always tries to open static files
from the webapp directly from an exploded webapp directory. This works okay under
standalone Tomcat since it uses an instantiation of FileDirContext, but when embedded
in JBoss, Tomcat uses a WARDirContext. If I have my head screwed on straight, this
means reliance on ServletContext.getRealPath() is incorrect except for portability
with Servlet specs prior to 2.1.
Is there any reason that these calls shouldn't be updated to Servlet.getResource()? I
presume the calls to getRealPath are in there from the early days of Turbine. I'll go
ahead and generate the diffs if this is reasonable and someone wants to merge them
when I am done. If not, maybe someone could clue me in on another path around the
problem of loading resources out of the WAR file...
Thanks,
Brian
