This is expected behavior.

Yep, pretty much.

The idea is that you can do something like:

request.getContextPath() + "/bar/baz" and always get an absolute URI. If
your context name is "foo", then you get "/foo/bar/baz". If you are
running the root web app, you get "/bar/baz", which is expected (rather
than, say, "//bar/baz").
