Hi Keith,
PrefixMapper should allways return a Container. The default
container is added in addContext():
map.addMapping( ctx.getHost(), ctx.getPath(), ctx.getContainer())
There is something wrong if PrefixMapper returns null - it should
find at least the "/" context on the default host.
I remember we had some problems if no root context is found, and we may
have missed this one. The correct solution ( if this is the problem )
would be to return 404 in contextMap, because if no container is found
it means no root context.
