In order to access resource of other applications, you have to set parameter
crossContext = "true" in context.xml file of application w1.
Example -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context docBase="/w1app" path="/w1app" crossContext = "true"/>
getServletContext().getContext("/w2app") will not return null, if you set this
parameter.

Hi,
I have two applications running on the tomcat application server.
w1 - with context path "/w1app"
and w2 with context path "/w2app"
I wish to provide links in w1 displaying pages of w2.
I have used this code in my HttpServlet class of w1
if /// some condition
Servlet Context othercontext =
getServletContext().getContext("/w2app"); (1)
RequestDispatcher rd = othercontext.getRequestDispatcher(url); (2)
rd.forward (request,response) (3)
However - the it gives a NullPointerException at 1.
I have been trying hard but without success..
Thanks
