No. My understanding is that the one in ServletContext takes paths relative to
the context root. _Not_ absolute paths.
To recap ..
I have a URI which I need to forward to the correct ServletContext. I can
do something like:
ServletContext other = getServletContext().getContext(uri);
This works because getContext() takes absolute paths.
But then how to I call getRequestDispatcher or getRealPath on that other
context? To get the correct result I need to strip off the other contexts root
from the URI before callign getRequestDispatcher or getRealPath. But I can't
find any way of determining what the root of the other context is. It could
just be the default "/" context or it could be a context which handles the URL
explicitly.
Help, anyone?
