Apparently, in weblogic (which is the server we are currently using) it is possible to "hardcode" the context-root into the weblogic.xml file (if not specified in the EAR application.xml file). All the sysadmin needs to do is let the request come through "unscathed" and we can at least remain underneath this "/apps" prefix, only now the equation Craig pointed out will be true. And yes, this is obviously a non-standard configuration since weblogic.xml is not a file from the J2EE spec, but at least it will be transparent to the J2EE apps.
