Description

In private EndpointReference calculateEndpoint(String protocol, String serviceName, String ip) method in /org.apache.axis2.osgi/src/org/apache/axis2/osgi/core/web/WebApp.java

There is if statement like this,

if (contextRoot.equals("/") || contextRoot == null)

{ contextRoot = ""; }

here contextroot==null is useless because contextRoot.equals("/") will throw a null pointer exception if contextRoot is null.
