I need to set up a welcome page, which can be called without any application context, simply by calling
http://ip:8080/index.html
I can copy a file "index.html" into the deploy directory and the Jboss system console states that it's deployed, but I can't call it the way mentionned above.
Does anybody know how to set that up? Of cource the welcome page links then to servlets and JSPs, but I need this entry point for a special purpose browser.
I think you want a root context.
Read this message from the FAQ and the accompanying thread on root context configuration. http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t= topic is also covered in the free documentation.
