I'm trying to forward a request from an app running in Tomcat 5.5.7 to an html
document outside of the app's context. The html document is in the htdocs
folder of Apache HTTP Server 2.0.
My context.xml document for the app looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/LoginApp" docBase="LoginApp" debug="0" reloadable="true"
crossContext="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="LoginApp." suffix=".log" timestamp="true"/>
</Context>
The code looks like this:
ServletContext context = getServletConfig().getServletContext();
ServletContext foreignContext = context.getContext("/");
RequestDispatcher requestDispatcher =
foreignContext.getRequestDispatcher("/try.html");
requestDispatcher.forward(request, response);
The problem: foreignContext is always null.
I thought that the crossContext attribute was supposed to fix this but it isn't
working.
Please help.
Thank you.
