Description

When passing an empty string/null value to a file generator's "src"
attribute, it seems to resolve to the root context (sitemap
directory).

For example,
<map:match pattern="**tab-*.html">
 <map:select type="exists">
   <map:when test="{project:content.xdocs}tabs.xml">
        <map:generate src="{project:content.xdocs}tabs.xml"/>
   </map:when>
   <map:otherwise>
      <map:generate src="{lm:tabs.xml}"/>
   </map:otherwise>
 </map:select>
...

In the above snippet, {lm:tabs.xml} returns null but the generator
resolves to (on my box) "C:\src\apache-forrest-lm\main\webapp" which
throws an Access Denied exception. What I would have expected is a
SourceNotFoundException because, after all, an empty source couldn't
be found.
