I have used the following to read the contents of a file from another
context.
ServletContext ctx = application.getContext( "/pages" );
InputStream is = ctx.getResourceAsStream( "/agreement.txt" );
To read from another context (as I'm doing) does require that the context
has been set up as "crossContext".
By using "getResourceAsStream()", this should even work in containers
that don't unpack the WAR file to the filesystem.
