Re: [jetty-user] mvn:jetty ServletContext.getRealPath("") and ServletRequest.getRealPath("") return source folder instead of target folder?

Hi Jan,

Thank you so much for your clear and thoughtful response. I hope it is
okay I have also started a stackoverflow question and posted your
response here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3800960/maven-jetty-plug-in-mvnjetty-servletcontext-getrealpath-and-servletrequest-g

My understanding is that the mvn jetty:run-exploded task will add time
to the startup of the jetty plug in and of jetty, thus increasing time
that developers must spend when starting their OpenMRS server instance.
Is this correct?

If there is no other way, of course that is the best way to go.

Alternately, if there is a "more proper" way to dynamically generate
files on the fly inside the webapp, that would also work correctly in
maven jetty:run (i.e., inside the target folder), I would love to hear
about it. If not, I understand.

Thank you so much

Yours
Misha Koshelev
