thanks Robert it works with this crossContext = "true" attribute.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/20/05 04:21pm >>> Remember that you have to configure your web context "app1" to allow cross-context access. If you have not done so, the method you call below will always return null. So your context xml file should look similar to this here: <Context docBase="YOUR_DOC_BASE" crossContext="true"/> I.e. the parameter crossContext="true" must be there, otherwise all calls to getContext() with whatever cross-context path will return null.
