Hi,
A change in 7.0.81/7.0.80 changed the File resolution in VirtualDirContext.
In 7.0.79 and before it was possible to use paths with /../ or any other
non-canonical path. This was particularly useful when using placeholders
that are being replaced at compile time like
extraResourcePaths="/=${project.basedir}/../some/other/dir”
The new calls to validate(File file, boolean mustExist, String
absoluteBase) prevent this, as inside the validate method the file name is
canocialized and compared against the absoluteBase path, which is not being
canonicalized.
Hence, when using a non-canonical path as an extraResourcePath the validate
function incorrectly assumes that the requested file is outside the
application root.
Any chance that this can be fixed?
Thanks.
