  LPS-27657	Use wsadmin so that Liferay running on WebSphere will support hot deploy
  LPS-15329	JRuby doesn't work on App Servers
  LPS-30243	Portal can't be restarted in Weblogic app server (and probably others)
  LPS-28446	Rest proxy redirects to a blank page

When deployed to websphere (or maybe to other app servers as well), calling any page will result with a blank page.

This happens because websphere sets the display name (aka context name) for the portal from the war name. Usually (on Tomcat), display name is null. On websphere, every application in cell must have a unique context name.

The root of the problem is in ThemeHelper, where servletContextName is being appended every time.

So we will use servlet context name only when ctx path != portal ctx path
