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

[Dimitris Andreadis (JIRA)]

    [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4253?page=comments#action_12388420 ] 
            
Dimitris Andreadis commented on JBAS-4253:
------------------------------------------

"...
The real path returned will be in a form appropriate to the computer and operating system on which the servlet container is running, including the proper path separators. This method returns null if the servlet container cannot translate the virtual path to a real path for any reason (such as when the content is being made available from a .war archive).
Returns:
a String specifying the real path, or null if the translation cannot be performed"

So is there going to be some tighter integration with vfs, or close with WontFix ?
