Trouble reading a file with relative paths

[Peter Stavrinides <p....@albourne.com>]

Hi Everyone,

In my application (Tap 4.1.1) I am trying to implement a parser to parse 
an xml file, which works well enough with an absolute path, but when I 
retrieve the file using a relative path Tapestry returns an empty 
java.io.ByteArrayInputStream. If the path is specified incorrectly an 
exception is thrown, so I am pretty confident that the path is okay.

This is what I tried:

@Asset("context:/XML/irmsitemap.xml")
 public abstract IAsset getNavigationMap();

InputStream stream = getNavigationMap().getResourceAsStream();

I also tried:
InputStream stream = 
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/XML/irmsitemap.xml");

My folder structure looks like this:

+context
    -CSS
       ...
   - XML
       irmsitemap.xml
    - WEB-INF
        classes
        lib      

    etc...

any ideas?
Thanks
Peter

Upgrade to 4.1.2 where asset path resolutions are more deterministic.
