Deploying MyApp as default application on JBoss server

Hi,
I've created a web application and it runs on JBoss 5.1.0.GA using the following url:

http://mok.services.com:8080/MySearch/SearchTopic

I have to confiigure this so that web application can be access like

http://www.mysearch.com

this application should come up by default (That means, we should get rid of /MySearch/SearchTopic
and also the port number. I already have an IP address that maps to www.mysearch.com
.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

This can be achieved by doing two things.
1. Modifying the default application context root.
2: Modifying the default Jboss Web Server port which is port 8080.

For more detailed information, refer the below post.

Thanks anandraj

I'm able to deploy our application as default application now. As we are deploying our application as EAR file

I change the context path in application.xml as <context-root>/</context-root> and also updated the URL pattern in application web.xml to <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> from <url-pattern>/SearchTopic <url-pattern>

Now the issue we are facing

#1 On the Target server one application( deploy on different application server) is already
listening on port 80, so now requirment is that we have to configure our application on 8080 and it should be access with out specifying the port number in the URL like

http://www.mysearch.com

#2 When application is set as deafult application it not able to find the image from image folder

The directory struture is like this

-WebContent
| - images
| - WebInf

access the image using code

"<img src=\"" + request.getContextPath() + "images/my-image.jpg\" />"

The value of ContextPath is coming as blanks and no image is display

Thanks

Hi Tushar,

1:

You cannot bind two services for a same port for an IP address, however you can try configuring a Network Interface Card (NIC) where you can have two different IP addresses for the same machine.

If you want to bind to a specific network interface card (NIC), use
-bind_addr <IP-Address>, where <IP-Address> is the IP address of the NIC to which you want to bind. Use this parameter in both the sender and the receiver.

2:
The request.getContextPath() would return ''" empty if the default context root is '/' according to the J2EE specs as the container does not decode this string.
