    Creating Alias for web context

    nura_mca

      How do i create an alias for web context in JBOSS. Actual problem is this, i have a war file by name SYS. While calling it from IE, will be calling it as
      http://localhost:8080/SYS

      but what i require is i should call it as
      http://localhost/sync
      and it should call the SYS war file...

          It is not actually an alias that you require.

          When you enter the address 'http://localhost/sync' Internet Explorer will connect to the web server using the default port of 80.

          JBoss/Tomcat is configured to listen on port 8080, this is the reason that the ':8080' is added to the address to inform Internet Explorer to connect to a different port.

          Assuming that you have nothing else using port 80 and you have the appropriate privileges the easiest option would be to configure Tomcat to listen on port 80.

            Thanks darranl,

            in my previous question i forgot to add port no(8080) in the second link...
            actually the url should be something like this
            http://localhost:8080/sync and some how i managed in getting it.

            what i did is, created an jboss-web.xml file and included it as a part in the web-inf folder

            the code written in jboss-web.xml file is

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


            now if if type http://localhost:8080/sync it calls the SYS war file,

            but the problem is that when i click on login button it says that the servlet dosen't exists in the specified location, but i still have the servlet inthe specified location...

            Thanks in advance
