On Tomcat 8.0.26 + JDK1.8.0.25 and i use BRITESNOW version 2.0.7-SNAPSHOT.
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.ServletException: Somehow the servlet container returned null for servletContext.getRealPath(File.separator)
Cannot initialize with null as realPath. If you use 'mvn jetty:run' make sure you use <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId> and not the legacy
<groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>

In fact, the problem seems that we are using the File.separator while in fact those servletContext path are virtual path and does not follow OS File.separator.
Solution
servletContext.getRealPath(File.separator) to servletContext.getRealPath("/") should do the trick.
Note: if we still have issues with old version of tomcat or other servlet engines, we might have multiple tries before throwing the exception.
