Hi,

I am trying to access from SnipSnap's filters (GZIPFilter and InitFilter) some variables from another web application.

I have the following webapps: "/app1" and "/snipsnap". I have configured app1 and successfully tested the access to its variables using a second app called  "/app2".

In GZipFilter or InitFilter I wrote the following sequence (pretty standard for retrieving variables from other webapps):

-------------------------------------------------
FilterConfig filterConfig = null;

public void init(FilterConfig filterconfig) {
        this.filterConfig = filterconfig;
}

public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain)
    throws IOException, ServletException {
        // filterConfig is stored
        ServletContext servletContext = filterConfig.getServletContext();
        ServletContext context = servletContext.getContext("/app1");
        System.out.println(">>>>>>>>>> context = " + context);
        ..............
}
----------------------------------------

At this point the context of /app1 is always null, no matter what I do. The same context is valid and not-null when using the same construction from my test /app2 (which uses the same filter).

Both /app1 and /snipsnap have their context.xml file located in META-INF with crossContext set to true.

Appreciate any feedback,
Regards,
Marius
