> In 3.0 M1 and trunk, ServletContext.getRealPath() returns null. In previous versions of Geronimo a real path was returned. Returning null is ok from specification point of view but it breaks compatibility for applications. It also looks like there are a number of web applications that rely on the getRealPath() to return a non-null value. One such application is Nexus web app.
