Root context Apache 2.2.3 and Jboss 4.0.4

[vannguyen0]

Is there a way to configure an application deployed to JBoss to be deployed on the root context?

I've set up JBoss behind an Apache 2.2.3 server using mod_proxy. I can access the application via:

http://www.somedomain.com/myApp

But I want to just go to http://www.somedomain.com. I've tried setting up the httpd so that

ProxyPass / balancer://www.somedomain.com/myApp

But that doesn't work. I've read this wiki page (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=UsingMod_proxyWithJBoss) and it said:

Note: If you are using the Apache 2.2.2 binary don't specify the root for load balancing. For example


ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster nofailover=On

this will fail due to bug in Apache 2.2.2 binary. However if you take latest code from SVN head this works. I have not tested this in apache head.

Does this apply to Apache 2.2.3?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you could add a context-root entry to your jboss-web.xml file, as follows:

<jboss-web>
 <context-root>/</context-root>
</jboss-web>
