howto get standard context in tomcat 5

[jae77]

in tomcat 4, the standard context could be obtained in the fowllowing manner:

 WebApplication app = ....

 Object ctx = app.getAppData();
 Class standardContextClass = ctx.getClass();

this no longer seems to work in tomcat 5 and instead i get back an ObjectName reference.

could someone pls offer some input on what direction i need to take to resolve this.

thx!

update...

it appears that if i grab a reference to the mbean server, then i can use the ObjectName ref that was returned to me and then invoke "findMappingObject" to get the catalina context.

if anyone else has any experience w/ this, pls let me know if this is what i want to do.
