Problem Description:
I have mappings set up in ColdFusion administrator. When I expandPath() to any mapped directory during a REST call, I don't get the mapped directory. Instead, I get the path off the web root, as though the mapping does not exist.

Steps to Reproduce:
Set up a mapping in ColdFusion administrator outside of the web root.
Create a REST enabled CFC with a method that returns the result of expandPath('/mapping').
Call the REST method and examine the result.

Actual Result:
Path to a directory in the webroot.

Expected Result:
Path to a directory outside the webroot.

Any Workarounds:
None

The Application filter were not running when invoking the webservice method. It was used when we were creating the instance of the service class. So the mappings while executing ting the function. And if the functions threw error, the onError was not called. Moved the application and other required filters while invoking the method.
