That's the method I meant, but I'd forgotten it returns the
description and not the name. getServletPath("") is a hack as you
noted, and also will return null if running the app from a packaged
WAR, so it's not a good idea anyways.
Why is the app name hard-coded? Can you get around the hard-coding
with ServletContext.getResource-type calls, which run off the docBase
by default?

It wouldn't be a bad idea to update the instructions for 5.5, e.g. by
taking out the Logger element, if it is present.

If they explain their desired functionality exactly, we can certainly
discuss it further. I still wouldn't call it a bug because it's
functioning as designed for 5.5 (as noted previously, this is slightly
different from 5.0).
