how to change the context root for a jboss web application

[csmatyi]

Hello everybody,

I am developing a web application using the ISA tools based on a jboss framework.

As of now, the web application is live on our server as such: gaho.unmc.edu/gahoinvindex

but I want to shorten the address to gaho.unmc.edu so that people don't have to type the extra /gahoindex part, so that the address remains practical and useful.

I understand that I have to set the context root in some xml file among the jboss configuration files.

I have tried shortening <contextRoot>/bioinvindex</contextRoot> to <contextRoot>/</contextRoot> but this does not work.

Any tips?

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks, Matthew

Which version of JBoss AS are you using?   I believe in order to use the root context, you need to package your application into ROOT.war.

Context-root can change the context name, but I don't believe it can change it to the root.

I'm using Jboss version 5.1.0.GA

In that case, you need to alter the ROOT.war already packaged in jboss-5.1.0.GA.

Hi! Got the problemo solved. Yet, I
have a new problemo:

I am trying to set up my website in
a VM.

I have been trying to fix the bugs
in jboss when starting up

our database in the vm.

Maven builds the database fine, and
the run script also starts up, but there are still errors.

I set the proper ip address in
/etc/hosts:

test-lpxr config # cat /etc/hosts

1. 127.0.0.1 localhost
   localhost.localdomain
   
   localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1

localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

1. 172.16.16.129 rito-c64
   
   rito-c64.unmc.medforest.org c64
2. 192.168.58.129 test-lpxr.uwv.edu test-lpxr

For some reason the programs must
not be configured

properly, in the latest error.

I suspect there might be some sort
of connection error,

though I am sure the connection to the db is configured fine, and that the user

has access to it:

test-lpxr config # cat
hibernate.properties.mysql

#The database parameters

1. hibernate.connection.username=bioinvindex

1. hibernate.connection.password=password

1. hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/bioinvasion

1. hibernate.connection.driver_class=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

1. hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect

# Change these paths as you need

1. hibernate.search.default.indexBase=/lpxr_270gb/lucene/

# Change this to get some debug info

hibernate.show_sql=false

# This shouldn't need to be changed

1. hibernate.search.default.directory_provider=org.hibernate.search.store.FSDirectoryProvider

1. hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update

1. hibernate.search.indexing_strategy=manual

1. hibernate.mapping.precedence=hbm,class

Also, the user bioinvindex @
localhost has all privileges in

the mysql.user table in MySQL.

What do you think the error could
be?
