Public bug reported:

If the user sets the applicationName via the MainView an embedded
WebView's default context will fail to use this information when setting
its cachePath and dataPath. This results in confined apps failing to
save cookies, caching data, etc.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Run following qml with qmlscene:

import QtQuick 2.0
import Ubuntu.Components 1.1
import Ubuntu.Web 0.2

MainView {
    applicationName: "com.mikeasoft.example"

    WebView {
        Component.onCompleted: {
            console.log("Data path: " + context.dataPath);
        }
    }
}


Expected result:

Output: "qml: Data path:
file:///home/mike/.local/share/com.mikeasoft.example"

Actual result:

Output: "qml: Data path: file:///home/mike/.local/share/Qt
Project/QtQmlViewer"
