logging-config-path and config-path must be absolute on Tomcat 8

[dmolesUC]

In order to get OpenWayback 2.0.0 up and running under Tomcat 8.0.15 / Oracle JDK 8 / Mac OS 10.10, I had to change the default logging-config-path and config-path from relative to absolute paths:

    <context-param>
        <param-name>logging-config-path</param-name>
        <!-- <param-value>WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties</param-value> -->
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>config-path</param-name>
        <!-- <param-value>WEB-INF/wayback.xml</param-value> -->
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/wayback.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

This looks to be a Tomcat issue, as org.apache.catalina.webresources.StandardRoot.validate(String) has a path.startsWith("/") check.

Can I assume this syntax will work under Tomcat 6/7 as well as 8?

I've only got 8 on this box, so I don't know for sure. If you have a Tomcat 6/7 setup handy (surely somebody in this room does?), give it a try. :)

Tried this in Tomcat 7 (Windows) and it still works as expected.

Cool, can you turn that into a pull request? Note that I've just synced up the ukwa fork so you'll need to update first.

Done!
