Make SEAM work with Apache Tomcat 6 and unpackWARs="false"
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-4689
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-4689
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.2.1.CR1
         Environment: Apache Tomcat 6.0.24, Ubuntu 10.4
            Reporter: Cedrik Mayer
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.2.1.CR2
         Attachments: 0001-Try-to-load-.page.xml-from-ServletContext-in-packed-.patch

Currently SEAM is not able to run in a Tomcat that does not unpack its war files. This is because WarRootDeploymentStrategy + URLScanner is not capable of retrieving files from the ServletContext so that *.page.xml files won't be found.

The attached patch tries to work around this problem but it's more of a hack than a bugfix. It does not work properly as the information from the *.page.xml is read but not fully used (e.g. rewrite pattern will work but s:link does not use them). And it also spits many warnings to the console regarding getRealPath()-failures.
