Description Tomcat Developers Mailing List 2000-09-04 08:38:54 UTC 
From a fresh tomcat installation, if you delete all webapps/*.war files

$lynx http://localhost:8080

will hang forever without 404 response. Instead, a new process for each request will eat CPU time.

PrefixMapper.getLongestPrefixMatch() would spin forever if there was no 
matching prefix and no ROOT context.  This now returns a 404 error.
