This is an issue with the way getServletContextName() is implemented in Resin and Tomcat. In Tomcat this returns the display-name of the application where as in Resin it returns the URL prefix for the servlet context. Once I added a display name to my web application I am getting the context name in Tomcat.
What I actually want is the URL prefix for the servlet context. The method to access this would be httpServletRequest.getContextPath(). But I want to access this in a filter. Does anybody know a container independent way to do this?
