David, Set "crossContext" to true if you want calls within this application to ServletContext.getContext() to successfully return a request dispatcher for other web applications running on this virtual host. Set to false (the default) in security conscious environments, to make getContext() always return null.
Hope this help..... ---Trung -----Original Message----- From: David Kerber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 2:47 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Multi-level context paths possible in TC 5.5.9? Awesome!!!!!!! Worked first time. I had tried messing with context paths in an application .xml, but never thought to try the server.xml. One question: what does the "crossContext" flag do? Or is that what lets it look to a different path for the context path? The help files I looked through don't list it... Thanks a bunch!!
