Running web apps without a war file

[catharine]

I have just started using JBoss (the version with Tomcat), and I have integrated it with JBuilder.

I have written a sample application in JBuilder, created the war file, and run it through JBoss with no problem.

However, I don't want to have to rebuild the war file each time I make a change to the application. How can I supply JBoss the application without creating a war file?

I thought that I could put the application directory from JBuilder into server/all/deploy. This directory contains the WEB-INF directory and the JSPs. However, I get an HTTP Status 500 error saying "No Context configured to process this request". Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Catharine

Have u named yr webapp folder as mywebapp.war, note the .war ext is required even for exploded format deployments.
Once u do this, u shd be able to access it as:
http://server:port/mywebapp/mypage.jsp

I think you need to put jboss-web.xml descriptor in your WEB-INF directory which contain <context-root> element. Stg like:

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

Thanks for your help, this solved the problem.

Sorry, I meant to say that naming the web app directory mywebapp.war solved the problem. I haven't added a context-root to the xml file because it seems to work OK without it.

Can anyone tell me if these issues are covered in the documentation somewhere because I couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks
