This was a no to working in 2.4?

When I was doing work on the quickstart I changed a few things which is 
why you don't need the context path in your configuration file (why have 
stuff in the configuration file you can figure out at runtime?).

It would seem sensible that these directories could live outside the 
context the reason they don't is that at the moment a request dispatcher 
is used to serve up the file and it can only serve up from within the 
context. Building servlet has support for writing out the file itself 
but it isn't quite there.

BTW: We here at Oxford use symlinks for files and generated to keep them 
outside the webapp but this is a Unix hack.
