APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Customer incorrectly coded host.default.alias for the statement
of host.default_host.alias in the webcontainer.conf file, which
did not match with host.default_host.contextroots statement.
A NullPointerException error message that was displayed in the
addWebApplicationToVirtualHostBinding during the start-up
of J2EE server did not help the problem diagnosis.
  A new extended message will be implemented and displayed to
help identify the problem when an incorrect statement in the
host.default_host.alias statement is detected.

****************************************************************
Customer is receiving NullPointerException during the start-up
of J2EE server, because the virtual host name specified on the
host.<virtual-hostname>.alias webcontainer.conf file property
was mis-spelled.

Customer wants to to receive an error message that indicates
that the virtual host name was misspelled.
Problem conclusion
WebSphere for z/OS will now check to see if the virtual host
name specified on a host.<virtual-hostname>.alias property
matches a value specifed on a
host.<virtual-hostname>.contextroots property.
If a match does not exist, a VirtualHostNotDefinedException will
be thrown.
