I have a very annoying problem with tomcat 6:

ServletContext.getContext() always returns null if I call the method from the "root" context, i.e. 
the context I have defined with path="/" in my server.xml. I also tried setting path="" 
(I read that this could fix problems in tomcat 5 - I'm using tomcat6 but a thought it might help).

Here are the context definitions of my server.xml:

                 <Context path="/context2" docBase="/absolute/path/to/a/folder/" 
/>
                 <Context path="/ " docBase="..." crossContext="true" 
reloadable="true"/>

I also tried defining both contexts with crossContext="true". If a change the path from the second 
context to something else than "/" or "" everything works fine. Is this a tomcat bug?

My workaround now is to use apache's mod_rewrite to handle requests on "/".
