title: How to write relative unix path in xml
body: <p>when i run a process in unix the path points to /abc/1/2/3</p>
  
  <p>I am setting a property in an xml for a process which run in path. 
  One property i have </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt; property name="log.path" value="/abc/4/5"/ &gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Problem is that i cannot give absolute path("/abc/1/2/3") as above. i have to give something like "../../../4/5".</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt; property name="log.path" value="../../../4/5"/ &gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>my questions is why the above evaluation is not working? currently it is considering the path given in value as constant.</p>
