Major Description
When both tomcat http and https connector gbeans are unloaded, java.net.MalformedURLException occurs while running tomcat module startup.
This configuration is, for example, a typical case that other web server ( Apache HTTP Server, IIS, etc. ) connects geronimo server and processes all http requests firstly as the main http server.
Tomcat module setting in config.xml:
<module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/tomcat6/2.0-M6/car">
<gbean name="TomcatResources"/>
<gbean load="false" name="TomcatWebConnector">
<attribute name="host">${PlanServerHostname}</attribute>
<attribute name="port">${PlanHTTPPortPrimary + portOffset}</attribute>
<attribute name="redirectPort">${PlanHTTPSPortPrimary + portOffset}</attribute>
</gbean>
<gbean name="TomcatAJPConnector">
<attribute name="host">${PlanServerHostname}</attribute>
<attribute name="port">${PlanAJPPortPrimary + portOffset}</attribute>
<attribute name="redirectPort">${PlanHTTPSPortPrimary + portOffset}</attribute>
</gbean>
<gbean load="false" name="TomcatWebSSLConnector">
<attribute name="host">${PlanServerHostname}</attribute>
<attribute name="port">${PlanHTTPSPortPrimary + portOffset}</attribute>
</gbean>
</module>

The root cause of this exception is that the TomcatWebAppContext#getURLFor method returns null.
Needless to say, java.net.URL class does not support local protocol like "ajp".
A workaround is that tomcat module loads either its http or https connector gbean.
However, most users will not want to open needless network service.
