Can a war file deployed on jboss be context sensitive?

[jlearn]

Hello,
I use JBoss-2.2.2_Tomcat-3.2.2. I deploy a war file (hello.war) by coying it into to the jboss/deploy directory. It deploys fine. However it automatically creates a context called "hello" based on the name of the war file.
So I can access a servlet "SampleServlet" inside the war by the URL:
http://localhost:8080/hello/servlet/SampleServlet
Instead, I would like to access the servlet as:
http://localhost:8080/servlet/SampleServlet i.e. configure the war to a context "/". When I copy to the jboss/deploy, it is deployed ok but not copied into the /webapps directory. This is fine with me as it would enable me to hot deploy without restarting the server. I am trying to figure out how to change the context of the war file deployed in the above manner. Does anyone know of a solution?
I tried out adding the following to server.xml, did not help:

You have to pack the WAR file into an EAR file where you can specify the context like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application>

<display-name>Hello</display-name>


<web-uri>hello.war</web-uri>
<context-root>/</context-root>





Have fun - Andy

Thank You for the idea. It worked for me.
