WHEN YOU POST, include all relevant version numbers, log files,

getRealPath() off of ServletContext will always return null. Take a look
at JServConnection.java and JServContext.java. This
is one of those things in the servlet spec that (I guess) couldn't be
reasonably implemented with the original JServ approach.
getRealPath() off of HttpRequest *may* give you the path of the request,
assuming Apache sent a value for DOCUMENT_ROOT to JServ.
My understanding is that the place where this will get addressed is
in Jakarta/Tomcat.
