I really am trying to do too many things tonight (the Ashes have start 
as well, so that's me out of the real world for 5 days)

It's in 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/forrest/trunk/whiteboard/forrest2/core/src/core/org/apache/forrest/core/Controller.java?revision=477949&view=markup

The CLI calls the default constructor which calls 
this("src/locationmap.xml", "src/forrestContext.xml");

The file resolution is in the parameterised constructor and consists of 
two parts:

final File file = new File(contextPath);

and

this.context = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext(file		 
.getAbsolutePath());

(contextPath in the first line is the "src/forrestContext.xml")

The problem is that getAbsolutePath() should be getPath().

I've made the change, please test.
