communication between two webapps which are in the same server

Hi friends,

Here is my requirement I have a jsp page, jsp1.jsp in app1. The jsp page consists of header, footer and body, the header and footer are in the app1 and I need to display jsp2.jsp in the body part of jsp1 which is to be rendered through action class or a sevlet of the app2 and is below is my code in body of jsp1.jsp

ServletContext sc=null;
sc=request.getSession().getServletContext().getContext("/app2");
System.out.println("sc-->"+sc);

RequestDispatcher rd=sc.getRequestDispatcher("authenticate.do");
rd.include(request, response);

but the code is giving the following error in both Tomcat and JBoss
The requested resource (/app2/authenticate.action) is not available
and I kept <Context crossContext="true"> in context.xml in Tomcat too

Thanks in advance

Siva

Please do NOT post the same question in multiple forums. Since you are talking about web apps, the servlet OR the jsp forum would be the right place.
