 Description   

Currently when servletContext.getRealPath() returns null, NPE is thrown by magnolia at later stage. According to the Servlet spec 2.4 method is allowed to return null when real path can't be obtained, therefore magnolia should fail gracefully explaining the error rather then with NPE.

For example when application is deployed in a war file and application server is unable to determine the real path or if real path display is restricted by the server security setting. Occurs on weblogic.
