All,
     The issue http://java.net/jira/browse/SERVLET_SPEC-11 talks about
ServletContext.getRealPath and HttpServletRequest.getPathTranslated().
In particular what should the behavior be for a resource not speicifed.
In my opinion, based on the spec if a resource does not exist then the
methods should return null. If we change this behavior then this has the
potential of breaking backwards compatibility. I would like to keep the
return null semantics but would like to hear what others think.
