Description

The value of the axis.jws.servletClassDir property is blindly appended to the result of context.getRealPath("/") if that result is not null. This means that the interpretation of the axis.jws.servletClassDir property strongly depends on whether the WAR is deployed in exploded form or not. In particular, if the WAR is exploded it is not possible to specify an absolute path.

This is a problem for the Axis build itself because the axis-war module starts a Jetty test server and the integration tests keep creating class files under src/main/webapp.

The code should be fixed such that axis.jws.servletClassDir is interpreted correctly if it is an absolute path.
