1) I'm not precisely clear on your use of the Context (I am a tad new at this). I
would assume from your question that the proper response is this: I am tryig to
leave my current Context and go to a 'parent' Context, not nessesarily the base
context.

My test structure works out to the following:

docroot/index.html
docroot/testdir/index.jsp
docroot/testdir/inc.jsp
docroot/testdir/test2/index.jsp
docroot/testdir/test2/inc.jsp

The "not found" error occures when I try to include docroot/testdir/inc.jsp
(which is in the parent directory) from the file docroot/testdir/test2/index.jsp

2) I have tried setting the CrossContext attribute to true as well as false, both
having no affect

3) Although the option still exists to create a subdirectory off of the base
context, I am trying to port an existing web app from Weblogic onto Tomcat. I
would like to avoid moving files around if possible.


What about the use of the <jsp:directive.include /> phrase rather than
<@include>? Are there substantial differences?
