Are filters restricted to be within contexts?

[David Kerber <dc...@verizon.net>]

Basically, I'd like to know if a filter can be used to change a context 
path, or are they restricted to acting within a given context?

For example, can I set up a filter at a higher level, so that it will 
trigger even on a context that doesn't exist in the current Tomcat instance?


Thanks!
Dave

Any request not matching a specific webapp's path belongs to the ROOT
webapp.  Place filters there if you'd like to catch requests to
non-existent webapps.  Otherwise if a request matches a webapp, that
webapp's filters are run instead.
