Abstract:  REQUESTDISPATCHER DOES NOT FIND CORRECT CONTEXT IN NESTED CODE.

Description/symptom of problem:  One servlet in a web application includes a servlet in
another web application, which in turn includes a JSP.
Now the second servlet does not call the JSP by its path
but defines a servlet for the JSP and uses
getNamedDispatcher to call the JSP. When this
scenario is executed, the JSP engine is looking up the the JSP with
the wrong path, and get a java.io.FileNotFoundException
exception.
