Esteban Schifman commented on JBESB-335:
----------------------------------------

Fixes have been introduced assuming a null getParent() is equivalent to "" (zero length string) and a null getParentFile() can be fixed using new File("").

> FileCourier.postFile relies on getParent never returning null so it can get the post directory if one is not specified in the EPR. It even does a comparison later on without checking for null. Unfortunately it is legal for getParent to return null. However, in that situation we should throw an exception at the very least. The signature doesn't allow for it and I'm not changing it yet. If a post directory is not specified we will assume a relative default directory of 'post'.
