[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-4253) ServletContext().getRealPath("/") is returning null

[Remy Maucherat (JIRA)]

    [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4253?page=comments#action_12357399 ] 
            
Remy Maucherat commented on JBAS-4253:
--------------------------------------

getRealPath may return null, and will return the file path only when Tomcat is run from the filesystem (the VFS is not the filesystem, so the result is normal).
