In Strategy 9.x using Web Logic as application server, errors like these - "The path for getResource() must begin with a '/'" - are found in the web logs and seem to be logged each time a user connects or runs a page. No errors are seen in the interface, but the web logs get filled up.
Example error message:
[com.Strategy.web.app.platform SEVERE] [10/04/2014 13:28:11:239] [13] [xxx] [xxx] [ServletContainerServices.getResource] The path for getResource() must begin with a '/' (java.net.MalformedURLException) : [java.net.MalformedURLException: The path for getResource() must begin with a '/'
