-----------------------------------------
Jarek,
I just checked the Jetty 'wrapper' around the getContext method and it does not have the same
check for the first character not being a '/'.
So it _should_ be functioning correctly.

[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-3921) getContextRoot() returns forward

Jarek Gawor commented on GERONIMO-3921:
---------------------------------------
Jay,
How does Jetty handle this? I think Jetty checks/modifies the contextPath in the same way as Tomcat used to, so it might need a fix also.
