> The initializeNonJndi method in Log4jWebInitializerImpl uses servletContext.getServletContextName() to get a context name (if the name hasn't been defined using log4jContextName). getServletContextName() returns the name as specified in the <display-name> element in web.xml, but that is optional.
> If neither <display-name> nor log4jContextName is defined, this results in the servletContext not being set, so the WebLookup doesn't work.
> It should use some sort of default. Probably the name of the war file or context file, if there's a generic way of getting that.
