Just to expand on this a little. I have previously had something working
but that was on Tomcat 5.5.9, The same trick no longer seems to work
under 6.0.29.
I basically created a context like
<Context swallowOutput="false" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true"
path="/B"
docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/myapp" />
which used an already deployed copy of our webapp. This did work under
5.5.9 but fails with the following error under 6.0.29. Has this
functionality changed and if so is this sort of trick not a good idea?
