Re: [Webware-discuss] WEP: serverSidePath()

[Chuck E. <ec...@mi...>]

serverSidePath() already exists for 5 classes. I'm not enthused about 
adding a serverSideDir() each place there is a path.

I think the dir thing is fairly rare so I'd rather just use 
os.path.dirname(obj.serverSidePath()) which is what serverSideDir() would 
do anyway.
