Path errors with Tomcat/OpenBD?

[Billy Cravens]

Downloading 2.1 and dropping it into my OpenBD app resulted in some path errors.

OSX 10.7.2, install of Tomcat 7.0.20, running on Open BlueDragon 2.0. Note that I am running Tomcat directly, not behind Apache Web Server. (This is a utility app, running on very thin EC2 instances - no need to consume resources with Apache)

Problem seems to be that this line:

<cfset context = getDirectoryFromPath(expandPath(pathBase)) /> 

is returning the absolute path to the parent directory, when it should be returning the path to the mxunit directory.

(/var/lib/tomcat/webapps/myapp/ instead of /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/myapp/mxunit/)

Playing around with pathBase allowed it to run, but messed up the various HTML assets and links. (I think I tried "/mxunit" and other variations)

After changing the line to 

<cfset context = expandPath(pathBase) /> 

everything seems to work fine.

I'm suspecting this is a limitation with Tomcat, based on the way it sees resources - I suspect it sees "mxunit/" not as a directory, but as a resource, so the containing directory of that resource is of course the root directory of the app. 

Assuming this is correct, updating that line to this:

<cfif find("Tomcat",server.coldfusion.appserver)>

<cfset context = expandPath(pathBase)>

<cfelse>

<cfset context = getDirectoryFromPath(expandPath(pathBase)) /> 

</cfif>

seems a more complete fix.

1) Am I correct about how Tomcat sees directories?

2) Does my fix seem correct? Any potential problems I'm not seeing?

Bill, Randy, Adam H, etc: can you comment on this? I thought we had hooks for setting the context when it wasn't correctly resolved.

Same issue for me, except it is giving very inconsistent paths in both
CF (JRun) and Railo (Tomcat) on the same dev machine. Sometimes it
jumps up the the root, and sometimes across to another parallel
directory to the mxUnit folder.
