[Bug 56085] New: IllegalArgumentException is thrown when calling getServletContext().getRealPath("\\")

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56085

            Bug ID: 56085
           Summary: IllegalArgumentException is thrown when calling
                    getServletContext().getRealPath("\\")
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: 8.0.0-RC10
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: lobanova.e.o@gmail.com

When getServletContext().getRealPath(System.getProperty("file.separator")) is
called in Windows OS, where the file separator is a back slash, the
getServletContext().getRealPath("\\") method throws an
IllegalArgumentException.

It seems to work fine in Tomcat 7.0, but fails in 8.0-RC10.
As a temporary workaround solution, I changed the separator to the right slash
("/").

Restore "Version" field back to 8.0.0-RC10

This issue was reported in 8.0-RC10 and fixed since 8.0.2.

--- Comment #1 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
The argument for getRealPath() is a virtual path and should therefore always
use "/" as a file separator irrespective of the operating system Tomcat is
running on.

However, throwing an IllegalArgumentException in this case does not appear to
be justified by the Javadoc. getRealPath("\\") should return null.
