How to set context root of an application in JBoss?

hi guys! i need help in addressing issues in a website, which use STRUTS/servlets etc.

My problem is I get duplicate domain while getting into the website e.g www.abc.com/abc.com/view/login.do.

i want to get rid of 2nd abc.com which i believe is root war location.

i have a web.xml and using filter to strip abc.com but its not working.

any body has any idea or went thru same experience.

thanks in advance.

Do you really feel that "Struts Technology" is a good subject for your question?

If you are trying to remove the context path from the URL displayed from the browser, you are going to be disappointed. There is no way to do this in a filter or otherwise.

If you don't want your web app to have a visible context path, you must make the web app the ROOT web app (which has a context path of /).

Thanks for your response and apologize for odd subject.

Can you please explain how can i make context path to root(\)?

thanks in advance.

What container are you using?

we are using JBOSS

Since this configuration is container specific, I'm going to move this thread to our JBoss forum for you.

To change the context for a web app on JBossAS, add a WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml file to your WAR file:

<jboss-web>
<context-root>/</context-root>
</jboss-web>

You will also want to remove the root application - server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deploy/ROOT.war (in 4.2.x).

No need to apologize. But I'd change it to something more appropriate were I you.

Thanxs Peter and bear. It was wonderful experience as a first time user.

I have another problem. The server where we hosted our website has multiple war files or other sites uploaded.

according to our previous discussion if we update jboss-web.xml file with context-root; will it affect other sites?

please let me know. thnax in advance.

Changing jboss-web.xml affects only the web application (war file) in which is appears.

Thanks Peter. Your information is valuable.
