I bet Alan or Vince can speak better on this, but it appears the
getRealPath() ends up being a wrapper for
javax.servlet.http.ServletContext's getRealPath().
Yeah, so something is getting foobared looking OpenBD's lib folder. I
can't find other code (i'm not too familiar with the codebase) that
looks for the WEB-INF dir. I suspect there is a defect here?
