RequestFactoryServlet config and symbolMapsDirectory

[Stephen Buergler]

Shouldn't the stuff in com.google.web.bindery.requestfactory.server.RequestFactoryServlet.ensureConfig() be in init() instead so you don't have to call it for every POST? Also is there a reason it doesn't default to looking for the symbolMapsDirectory wherever gwt normally puts them by default?

It seems like it could. Feel free to contribute the patch: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/makinggwtbetter.html#contributingcode

Because (only guesses):

 - AFAICT, StackTraceDeobfuscator works off java.io.File and in most cases apps will run off WARs

 - people can choose to output somewhere else (pass -deploy to the compiler) or simply move/not deploy the folder

 - deobfuscation takes time, so it's off by default
