Description

It USED to be protected rather than private but its access was changed by HADOOP-6461. It did the following:

-  protected String getWebAppsPath() throws IOException {
-    URL url = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("webapps");
+  private String getWebAppsPath(String appName) throws FileNotFoundException {
+    URL url = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("webapps/" + appName);
...

HBase subclasses HttpServer providing its UI. This change makes it so we can no longer do so.

This change made it into 0.21. I'd like to get a fix committed to 0.22 as well as TRUNK.
