I had kind of thought that might be the case, but wasn't sure. I had web app A with a context file in its META-INF directory and web app B with a (different) context file in its META-INF directory.
But just because the jars have different names, I suppose doesn't' even mean the package path is different, let alone the class name. I'll check those very carefully.
