In testing this there may be a bug in Tomcat 6, ServletContext.getContextPath()
returns "" for the root context. The JavaDocs for getContextPath states "The
path starts with a "/" character but does not end with a "/" character" and you
can only find a RequestDispatcher for the root context by requesting it for
"/". I've filed: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45484

> Deploying portlets to ROOT fails because of improper detection and handling
> of the "" context path.
> DefaultApplicationIdResolver#resolveApplicationId(ServletContext) returns
> "/hostName" for the root context instead of "", where "hostName" is the name
> of the host containing the context (typically "localhost"). The program will
> seem to work normally except when HttpServletRequest.getContextPath() is
> called such as by the JSTL url tag. That method would then return the
> incorrect value of "/hostName".
> Even when the context path is correctly detected as "", the portletId created
> by PortletWindowConfig#createPortletId(String, String, String) cannot by
> parsed by PortletWindowConfig#fromId(String) because the latter throws an
> exception if the id starts with ".".
