crossContext for servlets not working 

           Summary: crossContext for servlets not working
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.4 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jfienberg@simmedia.com


I am not able to reference resources from one webapp to another in the same 
host. I have previously successfully used the configuration (in 4.03):

 	  <DefaultContext crossContext="true"/> 

I also tried adding crossContext="true" to the contexts for each webapp in the 
host. This made no change.

The following (from a page in the ROOT context) gets a 404 error and the host 
log shows the error is for the URI /test.jsp (root cause: 
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /test.jsp), where it previously successfully 
forwarded to the page /webapp2/test.jsp:

	RequestDispatcher dispatcher = ctx.getContext
("/webapp2").getRequestDispatcher("/test.jsp");
        dispatcher.forward(request, response);

For any value I use in ctx.getContext("/asdas") that begins with a "/", I get 
the current context (non-null), EVEN if the value does not match any existing 
context.
