Create new web module, select Configure action -- first exception written to log -- but the editor is open and you can set the context. Now try to Exectute the WEB-INF. Execution fails with the second exception -- the config file is still empty.

fixed, using the new API in j2eeserver to set the default value of web context when it is not set (use the name of web module folder)
