How to change context root of a dynamic web project in Eclipse?

Question

I developed a dynamic web project in Eclipse. I can access the app through my browser using the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/MyDynamicWebApp


        

Answer 1

I tried out solution suggested by Russ Bateman Here in the post

http://localhost:8080/Myapp to http://localhost:8080/somepath/Myapp

But Didnt worked for me as I needed to have a *.war file that can hold the config and not the individual instance of server on my localmachine.

Reference

In order to do that I need jboss-web.xml placed in WEB-INF
