I see quite extensively throughout the code, the use of "getRealPath"... Injavac works only with files, resource just won't cut it. Some other places also need file instead of resource.
my book, this is always true:
new URL("file:" + getRealPath(x)).equals(getResource(x));
Unless I overlooked something. I don't quite remember why it wasn't
deprecated in Servlet 2.3, but definitely, to me, it doesn't make much
sense.
What if as microstep #1 we deprecated getRealPath() in favor of
getResource(), and went around in the entire code-base replacing and fixing
stuff?
Then in the getRealPath() call in both CommandlineContext and HttpContext
should become something like
public string getRealPath(String path) {
URL url = getResource(path);
if ("file".equals(url.getProtocol()) {
return new File(url.getPath()).absolutePath()
}
return(null);
}
And would be deprecated... Is there something I _massively_ overlooked?
BTW, I recently greped source for WEB-INF and found that there are several places wich trying to find file. I propose to move this code into one place, say, CocoonServlet and Main, and save context file path into Context attribute - thus we can remove these calculations from other places.
wdyt?
