Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create the folder abc in the Tomcat webapps folder
2. Unzip the attached abc.zip to the abc folder under Tomcat webapps
3. Create an abc.xml file in conf/Catalina/localhost with the content:

<Context path="/abc" />

4. Start up Tomcat

Expected Result: Tomcat starts with no exceptions
Actual Result: Start up Tomcat. You should see some exceptions like the following:

Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
	at test.TestPropsUtilContextListener.run(TestPropsUtilContextListener.java:53)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

	at com.liferay.portal.kernel.servlet.HttpOnlyCookieServletResponse.<clinit>(HttpOnlyCookieServletResponse.java:67)
	... 2 more

You should now see the following exception in Tomcat any time you visit a page in Liferay.

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [Friendly URL Servlet - Public] in context with path [] threw exception [Filter execution threw an exception] with root cause
