what should getRealPath return in sub-sitemap?

[Geoff Howard <co...@yahoo.com>]

I have a sub sitemap mounted under a sub directory,
and within an action called from that sitemap I am
calling context.getRealPath("dir-name").

I expected it to resolve dir-name relative to the
mounted directory, returning
{webapps-dir}/{servlet-context-dir}/{sub-dir}/{dir-name}
but it resolves it relative to the servlet context.  

I have a feeling this could be because I have mounted
the subdirectory with a blank uri-prefix since it
would be undesirable with a host match mount: 

    <map:match type="host" pattern="*virtualhost.com">
      <map:mount src="vhost/" uri-prefix=""/>
    </map:match>

Is this correct behaviour?  The only discussion I was
able to dig up from the archives seemed to imply that
the context is supposed to be gained from the location
of sitemap.xmap, which would give the behaviour I was
looking for.  

Is there another way to go about this?

Am I abusing the map:mount directive using it this
way? (if so, then why bother specifying uri-prefix at
all)

Context is a servlet context, and getRealPath works according to the 
servlet spec, resolving path relative to servlet's directory. Servlet in 
Cocoon is one, CocoonServlet, and deployed at '/' (webapp root).
