Description

We have web application with cayenne 1.1.3 configured from servlet context (BasicServletConfiguration). Cayenne complains it cannot find cayenne.xml file.

After some fiddling i found out that WebApplicationResourceLocator while searching for resource generates paths with multiple slashes (e.g. /WEB-INF//cayenne.xml note the double-slash).
At the same moment Jetty starting from 5.1.6 (5.1.4 doesn't mind that) does NOT tolerate paths like this.

so expected result is trying to find cayenne.xml at:
/WEB-INF/cayenne.xml
but what is currently occuring is:
/WEB-INF//cayenne.xml

and seems like the deeper you go the more slashes you get

We can't use Jetty later than 5.1.4 so it is quite a problem and it will get into a yet bigger problem as time passes and new versions are released. And I don't somehow think its jetty's fault .
