[Bug 56890] getRealPath returns null

[bu...@apache.org]

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56890

--- Comment #1 from Konstantin Kolinko <kn...@gmail.com> ---
Resource paths are expected to start with a "/" (per javadoc of
ServletContext.getResource()). [1]

The behaviour in Tomcat 8 is caused by a more strict underlying Resources
implementation.

That said,
- I would expect "strict compliance" option (or more specifically
GET_RESOURCE_REQUIRE_SLASH option) to control this behaviour both in this and
in older versions. Apparently it is not so. [2]

- I wonder whether passing "" instead of "/" to getRealPath("") is valid.
