I understand from the API that if a servlet or jsp calls getContext(String) on its own ServletContext, it will get the ServletContext instance of the foreign context named in the String parameter. For example, if the web application descriptor names 'Xpages' and 'Xdata' as two distinct applications, what do I need to call from the Xpages application to get Xdata's ServletContext instance? I have tried all sorts, including getServletContext().getContext("/Xdata") but all I ever get back is my own context instance again, or in some cases the server throws a null pointer exception. BTW I am using Tomcat 3.1 standalone on NT for this test.
