Setting the URL in JBoss AS 7

[mrober]

Hi, all,

I'm a bit confused on how to set the URL. Let me explain...

I understand how to modify the path for deployed WAR files in the jboss-web.xml file. It seems to me that in order to get a deployed WAR to default to a URL, you would do something like this:

<jboss-web>

    <context-root>/</context-root>

</jboss-web>

However, that doesn't work at all. Furthermore, I can't seem to find any information regarding this. I'm not interested in DNS mapping, I just want to be able to go to 192.168.0.101 (for example) and directly access my site on port 80. It will be internally-facing only.

I've also tried virtual host setup, but the sparse information that exists for AS 7 doesn't seem to work at all (and I'm not certain that's what I want to do anyway).

I'm a developer, not an administrator, so a lot of this is new to me. Thanks very much for your assistance.

Hi there,

you have two issues:

1. Context-Path
2. Server-Port

For some reasons the jboss-web.xml did work only, when i used EAR deployment (WAR inside an EAR).

You can change the Server-Port in the standalone.xml (<socket-binding name="http" port="8080"/>)

Best regards,

Mark
