in some cases the context path might be not available. This causes an exception in the ConfigPropertyController. To prevent this use following code:

—
public class ConfigPropertyController extends PropertyController {

protected Map createExposedParamsMap(HttpServletRequest request) {
Map exposedParams = new HashMap();
exposedParams.put(“host”, request.getServerName());
exposedParams.put(“port”, String.valueOf(request.getServerPort()));

// The context root path contains a prefix ‘/’, we have to take that of.
String contextRoot = request.getContextPath();
if (contextRoot == null || contextRoot.isEmpty()) {
contextRoot = “”;
} else {
contextRoot = contextRoot.substring(1);
}
exposedParams.put(“context-root”, contextRoot);

return exposedParams;
}
}

I think I did the same like you, but when starting the server following exception occurs:

Any idea? Thanks!
