Unable to add directory via relative path of rshapefiles from the shapefile datastore configuration page
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-4238
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4238
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.1-beta1
            Reporter: Justin Deoliveira
            Assignee: Andrea Aime

Trying to add a relative path which is a directory leads to having the path resolved locally to the working directory. In the end the only work around was to point to a file with the file chooser. Then edit the datastore.xml to point to the directory.

To reproduce:

1) add some shapefiles to some directory under data
2) go to ui and add a new shapefile datastore
3) enter in file:data/ in the text box and hit submit
