cross context failing on Tomcat 5.5.9

Cross context failing on moving from Tomcat 4.1.27 to 5.5.9
I have an application which consists of several application wars all within
the same virtual host. Each application is configured with the same servlet
filter which gets the context for the main part of the application.
I have crossContext="true" on all the context elements. The context
elements are each in a <file>.xml where <file> is their app name and the
root context is in ROOT.xml. They are all under
Catalina_Home/conf/engine_name/host_name/*.xml
This application works fine on Tomcat 4.1.27 and fails on Tomcat 5.5.9. It
is failing at the point where the filter attempts, from within its own
servlet context to getContext(name) - that call returns null every time.

What am I doing wrong ? Am I missing some configuration element ?
