Use HttpServeletRequest.getContextPath() to get the context path.

Hello,
I am have written some filters for a shopcart application. I intend for parts of this applicaiton to be reused in other web applications by including it as a JAR file.
For authentication I have the file AdministratorAuthFilter, which
checks for a session value indicating that the user has logged in. The trouble comes with the following line:
response.sendRedirect("/simplecart/AdministratorLogin.do");
My development application is simplecart and so when I deploy to tomcat I have a URL like "http://localhost:8080/simplecart/"; which serves as my root. If I include this filter in another application as part of a JAR that application will end up with another root, such as "http://localhost:8080/mycart/";. So the line above in my filter that includes the literal "simplecart" breaks.
I have searched for something related to the context or context path. All suggestions appreciated.
