      When looking up magnolia.properties [1] files, we're using the current host name, as well as the webapp folder name (i.e the last element of the path in which the webapp is deployed) - which is not necessarily the servlet context path for the webapp.

      Using the webapp's context path might help in a bunch of situations (while developing I often have a context path differing from the webapp's name. same goes when deploying multiple apps under different vhosts of a single tomcat, for instance; some appservers deploy their webapps in folder whose name doesn't correspond to the contextPath either)

      Unfortunately, javax.servlet.ServletContext#getContextPath is only available since the 2.5 version of the Servlet API. Can we update ?

      (marking this as fix-for 4.3, only in the case we can quickly decide on upgrading the servlet api dependency, in which case adding this should be trivial)
