my problem had nothing to do with the files still being copied under Tomcat, if thats what you're referring to as "still there".
my problem is that Aware was messing up the Path.
It appears that when you have a relative path, Aware, AT RUNTIME, is taking the path and altering that string to prefix it with your URL... but its messing it up.
In my case, one time I had this as the path in the database:
'../Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/WebEntryPics/AssignImage.png'
and AT RUNTIME, the image would display as a broken link, and when inspecting it, that path showed as
'Pics/AssignImage.png'
I'm thinking "what the hell"? so I physically change the database record to a lowercase P and web page now showed
'pics/AssignImage.png'
After more fiddling around, I come to realize that its stripping what I have in the database off the front of that string - this is the new Aware Attribute that is supposed to hold the "value of the path in the file system". It doesn't use exactly what you have, but attempts (in an INCORRECT way) to concatenate the current URL and that path.
But since it screws it up, the image link is broke.
Also weird, is that in my case, it didn't even do it on a "/", but hacked into my Directory "WebEntryPics" and left only the "Pics"
jaymer...
