Can you change the root context of ROOT.war ?

[wiley173]

Hello,
Where can I change the "ctxPath" of the ROOT.war from / to /somethingElse/ or can I ?

The reason I am asking is this. I finally figured out how to get this working...

http://www.mysite.com/APP/

to

http://www.mysite.com

By adding the jboss-web.xml with context-root parmater but when I goto
http://www.mysite.com:8080 - It just displays my site and no jmx console anymore. Is there a way to still see the admin page for jboss AND have your sites at root context ???

thanks for some help

You should still be able to go to http://www.mysite.com:8080/jmx-console to view the console.

I think I found something out. You don't want to do this. Maybe when I've graduated from the beginners corner. When you make an application the "/" it over-rides the root context of the ROOT.war when you are using name based vhosts like I am - "so it seems". If I'm wrong about that I'm wrong but that's really how it looks on 3.2.6 .

So I basically just put jboss on its own IP, thats probably how it should be done anyway and my website on it's own IP and everything is just peachy now.
