jboss website as default site

[hand-solo]

I have jboss Version 4.2.3 running on a linux Centos 5 box. Currently have 1 website running on this jboss. I want to setup a domain name for the site like www.mydomain.com I have set the linux firewall to redirect requests from 80 to 8080 that jboss runs on. But when I go to my domain that I setup I get the default jboss config page.

How do I setup this jboss site so that it responds at the ipaddress, instead of having to go to for instance http:\\192.168.125.123\mysite I want the site to be at the root of the ip.


thanks.

ok, I think I have it figured out now, I just changed the index.html page in the ROOT.war directory.

I changed it to a jsp page that redirects to my site name.

another question, how do u clear the jboss cache? I made a mistake in the typing of my redirect, I have fixed the jsp page but it's still using the old jsp page

any ideas?

Redeploying?

i don't want to restart the jboss server, is it possible to deploy considering the index.jsp lies in the web-deployer ROOT.war directory?

You have to modify two files to make the server and your application listen to www.mydomain.com instead of the ip address.

First add a virtual host to jboss-web.xml in WEB-INF folder of your application.

<context-root>/</context-root>
<virtual-host>www.mydomain.com</virtual-host>

And then add the virtual host to jboss/server/xxx/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml

<Host name="mydomain.com">
<Alias>mydomain.com</Alias>
<Alias>www.mydomain.com</Alias>
</Host>

Your linux firewall doesn't have to redirect requests from 80 to 8080, you could change the port number in the jboss/server/xxx/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml
