Norman Richards commented on JBSEAM-1420:
-----------------------------------------

The problem isn't in File, it's that we don't deal with the possibility that getRealPath() may return null.  

I've changed initialization so that if we cannot locate the hot deploy directory, then we will default to the NoHotRedeployable strategy and log a debug message.

> The JPA example failed to deploy on WebLogic with an NPE error on the "new File" line:
> <code>
> public class Initialization
> {
>    private RedeployableStrategy getRedeployableInitialization() 
>     {
>        File hotDeployDir = new File( servletContext.getRealPath("/WEB-
> INF/dev") );
> org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener failed:
> java.lang.NullPointerException
>    at java.io.File <init> ( File.java: 194)
>    at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.getRedeployableInitialization
> (Initialization.java: 536)
>    ... ...
> </code>
> I think this is an issue with the File class in jRockit.
