> I tryed to deploy the roller war file by putting a roller.xml into conf/Catalina/localhost
> <Context path="/roller" docBase="/roller-weblogger-5.0.1-tomcat/webapp/roller-5.0.1-tomcat"
> Roller dies without any log entries, there is only on the console
> Nov 14, 2012 1:17:40 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext startInternal
> SEVERE: Error listenerStart
> in logs/localhost.2012-11-14.log there is
> java.lang.NullPointerException
>         at org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.core.RollerContext.contextInitialized(RollerContext.java:112)
> This is because String ctxPath = servletContext.getRealPath("/"); is null
> and the next line is
>         if(!ctxPath.endsWith(File.separator))
> which results in NPE
> This should be handled.
