[SOLVED] Was: Re: Mapping / -> jboss:/application in Apache …

[Marc Fournier]

Figured it out … much simpler (at least then I was able to find) then under Tomcat …

Step 1:

Edit standalone.xml to change enable-welcome-root to false:

From:

             <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="true">
                <alias name="localhost"/>
                <alias name="example.com"/>
            </virtual-server>

to:

            <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="false">
                <alias name="localhost"/>
                <alias name="example.com"/>
            </virtual-server>

And then add a file jboss-web.xml to your .war file's WEB-INF directory that contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web xmlns="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss-web_5_1.xsd">
  <context-root>/</context-root>
</jboss-web>

And you are away to races …
