3 small questions about web container

Hi all,

I have 3 small questions. Ok, maybe the middle one is a medium question.

1)
In this line from our server log, what does the "ABC/ABC" context
mean? Our application is called ABC (hypothetically), but it's
deployed at / so am curious about the format of the context.

[#|2012-06-14T00:42:32.624-0700|INFO|glassfish3.1.2|javax.enterprise.system.core.security|_ThreadID=32;_ThreadName=Thread-2;|JACC
Policy Provider:Failed Permission Check: context ("
PPCDConsole/PPCDConsole ") , permission ("
(javax.security.jacc.WebUserDataPermission
/nice%20ports%2C/Tri%6Eity.txt%2ebak GET) ") |#]

Yes, we're protecting /* with
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>, thus the
message.

2)
The above request is one of hundreds or thousands that are obviously
intrusion attempts. If I detect these, is there any way at the
container level to block requests from the IP address (obtained
through HttpServletRequest#getRemoteAddr), or would I have to do that
manually at the servlet/filter/etc level? I know that doesn't do much
for security, but it could cut down on the noise in the logs.

3)
Want me to file a bug for the following? It's in the log right after
the above entry.
