Are both of these contexts configured with crossContext="true"?  That's
required for Tomcat's getContext() calls to return non-null values.
It's disabled by default for security.

There have been numerous instances in the past where Websphere and
Weblogic implementations of the Servlet Spec were less strict than
Tomcat's.  So the above by itself is not sufficient to make a case,
since the "expected" reference might not be correct according to the
Spec, but provided for convenience (or even as a bug).

However, first let's see if setting crossContext="true" brings the
behavior you desire.  I should have mentioned this in my first response.
