[jboss-dev] Should JBAS5.x honor context path in context.xml?

[Anil Saldhana]

I see that if the attribute path is present in the context.xml, you can 
see NPE in Tomcat ->RealmBase as evidenced by
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6811

The presence of an unsupported attribute should not throwing a NPE in 
the wrong places. :)
