"" is put into the ServletContextPool if we're using the ROOT portal context. If we use something else (liferay), that will be put into the pool.

When pluginServletContextName:

is blank,

returns the ROOT servletContext. However, if pluginServletContextName is blank and the portal context isn't, it throws a NPE here:
