----------------------------------------

Hi Amos,

it took me a bit to look at the change. In general my the most aching point was not being able to set absolute path for object store. This seems being fixed. But I have an one  more request here and one doubt.

The request is to change description of {{object-store-relative-to}}. If this PR fixes the issue can you please emphasize the fact that {{relative-to}} can be set only to some specific values? Then I think that sentence {{force the value of the "path" attribute to be treated as an absolute path}} should be rather using object-store-path attribute name like {{force the value of the "object-store-path" attribute to be treated as an absolute path}}.

My doubt here is that in general I do not like the fixed behavior too much. It's only my personal feeling and I can be truly wrong here. If it's ok from your point of view I can verify the issue without more words. But meanwhile my points are
- why I can't set any path as value of {{object-store-relative-to}}? There is some hard restriction to that?
- I can't use expressions like {{${system.property}}} even if {{expression-allowed}} is {{true}}
- how can user know what values are correct for the {{object-store-relative-to}} attribute. Even it will be documented there is no logical clue why it's so.
