That message seems pretty self-explanatory: you're trying to call getContext() as a static method when it isn't static; you must use an instance of ServletContext. > The following code compiles, but only forwards my new <Context> (/dev) > appended to the SAME CONTEXT (/filter) as /filter/dev. > > ServletContext appContext = getServletContext(); Which is what it's defined to do: you called getServletContext() with no arguments, so it returns the current ServletContext; you need to read the Servlet API spec: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.5/docs/servlet-2_5-mr2/index.html If you want to reference the /dev webapp, code it like this: ServletContext appContext = getServletContext().getContext("/dev"); The above assumes you're making the call from a class that extends HttpServlet. > I already added crossContext="true" to context.xml for both the > original and new <Context>. It won't hurt in the target <Context>, but it does nothing useful for you. It only counts for the <Context> from which the forward originates. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
