JBoss 7.1.1 - Not able to set app to root context using jboss-web.xml

such May 8, 2012 3:04 PM

I have the following jboss-web.xml in my app to set root context.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC

"-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 4.2//EN"

"http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_4_2.dtd">

<jboss-web>

<context-root>/</context-root>

</jboss-web>

But I am getting this exception:

ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-16) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.web.deployment.default-host./: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.web.deployment.default-host./: Failed to start service

Any idea?

Thanks

Never mind. I got the solution.

I disabled the default 'welcome' content, which is deployed in the root context by default.

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">
            <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http"/>
            <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="false">
                <alias name="localhost"/>
                <alias name="example.com"/>
            </virtual-server>
</subsystem>

Thanks
