HI,

Thanks a lot for helping me on this.Our basic requirement is having two 
docroots for same context '/' .But I have read that using '/' as an aliasPath 
is not allowed. Thats the reason we had to change the code. Please let me know 
if there is any way to do that.

Thanks,
Asha

Isn't "aliases" attribute on Context what is needed for you? [1]

It is also possible map nested paths as separate web applications, by
naming them as foo#bar - see Naming in [1].
