Hello Tomcat Users Group and Chuck Caldarale and David Smith:

Chuck, thanks for clearing this up for me. I guess a simple session obj test
would have sufficed to test equality of the two session objects so obtained
from a context and similarly path-named multi-level-subcontext.

Nevertheless, sessions aside, I still have no working context xml configuration that allow a multi-level-subcontext to be specified inside a ROOT-level web app, even though such a multi-level-subcontext works fine inside a context-level web app (example: http://www.domain.com/context and http://www.domain.com/context/multi-level-subcontext)

My use-case is embedding meshcms inside my primary web app and
in a way that they can both share the same session.

If you think multi-level contexts share sessions with other contexts with the 
same prefix, you're mistaken; all contexts are independent, regardless of 
whatever similarities their URL paths might have.

My understanding of the servlet spec is that session sharing across contexts is 
not allowed.  Tomcat does have provision for single sign-on, which may be what 
you're looking for.
