[Webtest] AppletRunner does not setScenarioLocation

Hi

I'm glad to see someone else using the appletRunner!

scenarioLocation is set, and used, in the class AppletRunnerStep.
But its value is validated by ant's Classpath, which drop path it  
cannot resolve.

Where is the scenario in your installation?
The scenario must reside on the test machine, along with the webtest  
scripts.
Further, a location of '/applets' is probably interpreted as an  
absolute path in the root of the file system.

It should be here ;-)

Yes, webtest doesn't find the location '/applets', so it ignores it.

Have you looked at the functional test, in selftests/tests/ 
appletRunner.xml ?
These examples are executed for each and every build of webtest.
