Error description

• Abstract:
  Using the com.ibm.ram.common.data.Artifact.getSize() method from
  the RAM API returns "-1" for asset artifacts in subdirectories.
  
  Error Description:
  Reproduction steps:
  - Write similar code using the RAM API that would implement the
  following concept
  
  ### SNIPPET ###
  
  // IMPORTS USED FOR THE SNIPPET
  // import com.ibm.ram.common.data.FolderArtifact;
  // import com.ibm.ram.client.RAMAsset;
  // import com.ibm.ram.common.data.Artifact;
  
  // previous code
  
  RAMAsset ramAsset;
  
  FolderArtifact root = ramAsset.getArtifactsRoot();
  Artifact[] children = root.getChildren();
  int assetLength = children.length;
  
  for (int count = 0; count < assetLength; count++) {
      if (children[count] instanceof Artifact &&
  Artifact.TYPE_FILE.equals(((Artifact)
  children[count]).getType()))) {
          Artifact child = (Artifact) children[count];
          child.getSize(); // will return -1
      }
  }
  
  // more code
  
  ### END SNIPPET ###
  
  ***Note: This snippet is not intended to function properly and
  is merely used as an example of a concept that would need to be
  implemented
  
  - Run the code
  - After running the code, the "child.getSize()" would return a
  value of "-1".

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The current path would be wrong when construct the           *
  * RAMArtifact instance.                                        *
  * See RAMArtifact.java, the findArtifact would always return   *
  * null and make the fArtifactDetails always null.              *
  * As this , when user use RAMArtifact's getSize() function     *
  * would get -1.                                                *
  *                                                              *
  * Artifact artifactFromSO = findArtifact(fArtifact.getName(),  *
  * path, "", assetSO.getArtifacts());                           *
