It looks fine so far. Apparently it's been overridden by a context. Xml maintained/generated elsewhere.
You can read in the Tomcat's Context configuration reference about the rules. Do you for example have one in webapp's META-INF? You should then define crossContext in there.
According to J2EE every context has its own session management. You cannot share a session across two different servlet context. You will need to pass the jessionid back and forth between context.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
