JBoss 6 <context-root>

notify Dec 21, 2010 5:58 PM

Having got my JBoss 4.2.3 EJB3, Seam App deployed on JBoss 6 CR1 release I am trying to run the “web site”.

Previously in JBoss 4.2.3 I could enter in the browser;

http://localhost:8080/WeEatWell

and it would pick up the home.seam and work.

I have the context in (from JBoss 4.2.3) in application.xml;

{code:xml}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd"

version="5">

<display-name>WeEatWell</display-name>

<web>

<web-uri>WeEatWell.war</web-uri>

<context-root>/WeEatWell</context-root>

</web>

</module>

<ejb>WeEatWell.jar</ejb>

</module>

<ejb>jboss-seam.jar</ejb>

</module>

</application>

{code}

and in the jboss-web.xm (JBoss 6.x)l;

{code:xml}

<!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC

"-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 5.0//EN"

"http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_5_0.dtd">

<jboss-web>

<!-- A security domain that restricts access

<security-domain>java:/jaas/JBossWS</security-domain>

-->

<context-root>/WeEatWell</context-root>

</jboss-web>

{code}

However now I just get;

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi,

I don't know whether this is the reason, but the "context-root" elements I saw up to now never started with a leading "/".

"http://localhost:8080/WeEatWell" should be the default URL for your web app if no different context root is specified.

Are the deployment errors on your JBoss console?

Hope this helps

And do you have any welcome file?

Wolfgang,

No deployment errors, only warnings. In a live App with a domain name I use;
<module>
    <web>
        <web-uri>NOTiFYPiNPOiNT.war</web-uri>
        <context-root>/</context-root>
    </web>
</module>

If I deploy a local(host) version to test I just use;

http://localhost:8080/

To test it using NOTiFYPiNPOiNT I use

<context-root>/NOTiFYPiNPOiNT</context-root>

and then in the browser;

http://localhost:8080/NOTiFYPOiNT

This is of course on JBoss 4.2.3.GA/

Thanks

As per my 4.2.3.GA working versions I have an index.xhtml;

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=home.seam"/></head></html>

and a home.xhtml.

AFAIK, index.xhtml isn't considered as a default welcome page. If you want that to be your welcome page, then add it to the welcome file list section of your web.xml. Or try renaming index.xhtml to index.html and place it at the root of the .war.

Has this changed in JBoss 6.x?

Because everything works fine in JBoss AS 4.2.3.GA both on test (localhost) and when on the live server using my domain name.

No it's the same as it was in earlier versions.

Make sure your web.xml contents (especially the welcome file listing) is the same as in 4.2.3.

By the way, did you try adding it to welcome file listing and see if it works?

I didn't use a Welcome file listing in my web.xml in 4.2.3.GA. Worked though.

Have added one to my web.xml in v.6 as so;

<welcome-file-list>

<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>

</welcome-file-list>

Didn't make a scap of difference I'm afraid. I get;

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

If I type localhost:8080 I get the JBoss 6 "Manage this JBoss AS Instance" so it must work!

When JBoss starts I get;

16:07:11,317 INFO [ServletContextListener] Welcome to Seam 2.2.1.CR2

and;

16:07:15,717 INFO [config] Initializing Mojarra 2.0.3 (SNAPSHOT 20100726) for context '/WeEatWell'

Hi,

is there a small typo?

Should you use "index.xhtml" instead of "index.html"?

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

Best regards

Afraid not ...

You use index.html to start the Seam web app, which calls home.xhtml (home.seam)

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=home.seam"/></head></html>

Still not working with WeEatWell as context with or without a "/"!

No matter what I put in the <context-root> I can't get my "home" seam web page to display under JBoss 6.x.

Everything deploys with only "info" messages and a single "warnings".

With the context set to "/WeEatWell" and entering in the browser;

http://localhost:8080/WeEatWell

I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

When I go into the JBoss AS 6 Admin Console I can see my EJBs and WAR files deployed with the Context "WeEatWell".

Embedded Web Application (WAR)s
WeEatWell.war

invoker.war
Enterprise Application (EAR)s

WeEatWell.ear

General Properties
Name: WeEatWell.war
Version: --
Description: an embedded web application (WAR)
Traits
Parent: vfs:///C:/jboss-6.0.0.20101110-CR1/server/default/deploy/WeEatWell.ear

Looks like I'm doomed to use 4.2.3 forever!

Regenerated my project using Seam-Gen from;

jboss-seam-2.2.1.CR3 (released 22/12/2010)

"Today was released last candidate for 2.2.1 - Seam 2.2.1.CR3. This version was still focused on bug fixing and on JBoss AS 6 CR1 as runtime deployment"

successfully deployed on running on;

jboss-6.0.0.20101110-CR1

Looks like it was maybe a Seam issue.
