expandPath() does not work correctly with mapping/alias

Description

Apache:
Alias /bar "/var/www/html/foo"

Tomcat server.xml:
<Context path="/bar" docBase="/var/www/html/foo" />

Lucee Mapping:
/bar /var/www/html/foo/bar/

Script-URL:
http://localhost/bar/expandpath_test.cfm

Script-Code:
<cfdump var="#expandPath('/bar')#">

Result:
/var/www/html/foo/

EXPECTED Result (like Railo):
/var/www/html/foo/bar

Environment

CentOS, Apache2, Tomcat8, Lucee 4.5.1.022

Lucee and Railo handling expandPath the same way, mappings defined in admin always come first. This is expected behaviour.
we do not plan to change that behaviour, because it would break a lot ofexisting CFML code, in addition the current behaviour makes more sense.

Hi ,

I've analyzed this ticket & found that mappings are working similarly in railo 4.2.1.008/lucee 5.1.0.34/acf 11. If we've created alias/mapping in apache & tomcat & lucee for /bar with different paths, lucee mapping path will be displayed with expandPath(). Both lucee & railo uses mappings, created on lucee administrator or application.cfc, not the aliases created in apache/tomcat.

Won't Fix
