getRealPath Issues

[Josh and Melody Fuller]

There are a few core classes in the Turbine code which use "getRealPath" and 
they cause a lot of problems - especialy on any version of WebLogic.  I 
noticed the problem first when running Jetspeed1.4 (which uses turbine 2.2). 
 I checked to see if Turbine 2.3 fixed the problem - the code is almost 
exactly the same - so no fix there.  I have not checked Turbine 3.0 yet, but 
the comments in 2.3 say it will be the same in 3.0.

The problem is two parts.  First, when deploying in a war file the 
getRealPath does not work at all in WebLogic - it returns null.  Second, 
when deploying as an exploded war instead, other files will fail to load.  
The fix seems to be to use getResource instead.  Others have modified the 
turbine code to use this, and fixed the problem, but it is not part of the 
standard turbine development.

What are the possibilities of having someone in turbine development make the 
appropriate changes (i.e. check for nulls, and valid path and use 
getResource instead)?

Thank you,
Josh Fuller
