With JBOSS 4.0, how to get my web app at root?

markricard May 7, 2005 1:34 PM

I am trying to get my web application to be the one that loads when JBOSS 4.0 is running and you type something like:

http://myweb.com/

But I only see the JBOSS welcome page even though I have my webapp deployed. I can see myweb when I do this: http://myweb.com/myweb/ but I want it to be at the root.

I have tried numerous things like modifying the server.xml file in the default directory inside the HOSTS tag with:

(replace [] with brackets)

[Context path="" docBase="deploy/myweb"/]
or
[Context path="/" docBase="deploy/myweb"/]
or
[Context path="/" docBase="/myweb"/]
or
[Context path="/" docBase="myweb"/]

But it does not work. Does anyone know?

SOLVED!

You do not need to modify your server.xml file. You need to include a jboss-web.xml file in your project's WEB-INF directory that contains and empty context-root.

Hope this helps someone.
