[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-2564?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Brian Stansberry commented on WFCORE-2564: ------------------------------------------ Thoughts on how this should be done: 1) PathManager should expose a new resolveRelativePathEntry(String path, boolean possiblyAbsolute, String relativeTo) method, wherein if the possiblyAbsolute param is true, an absolute path check is performed on 'path' and if it's absolute relativeTo is ignored. AbstractPathService.isAbsoluteUnixOrWindowsPath(String path) is the check. This would let the kernel handle this kind of thing instead of extensions coding it themselves the way the AS7-5600 fix had to be done. 2) ResolvePathHandler.Builder should add a setter to let callers set a possiblyAbsolute value, which then gets passed into ResolvePathHandler, which uses it to call PathManager. 3) Default is 'false' consistent with current behavior. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
