JBoss 7: how to change a WAR context root

Question

I have an application that is to be deployed in a WAR file (app.war). After deployment it is available from http://:8080/app I would like to have it being made available

Answer 1

Just for sharing a personal experience...if the context-root in jboss-web.xml seems to be ignored...try to see if it is (the context root) already declared in your application.xml

Answer 2

this works in AS 7.0.1, WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
    <context-root>/my_custom_root</context-root>
</jboss-web>

I don't think it is possible to have app root like "server/something/app", but you can simulate this behavior through application structure
