I'm not sure what else might work.<br> Another option is to set the war as the "default web application" in the<br>glassfish admin panel, I believe it's the virtual server configuration that<br>lets you do that.</p>dobes_vandermeerThu, 23 Apr 2009 12:35:07 -0000http://www.dobesland.com/2008/01/15/glassfish-setting-the-context-root-of-a-war-inside-an-ear/#comment-8609159<p>I've already known than the file is applicattion.xml, but my problem is that I want to set me root context to "/", but when I deploy it, and enter the URL like http:localhost:82/ (thats de URL), then, it don't load the applicattion, so I don't know how to set the root context into "/" and make it work.</p><p>Ane help?</p>GuilleThu, 23 Apr 2009 11:22:41 -0000http://www.dobesland.com/2008/01/15/glassfish-setting-the-context-root-of-a-war-inside-an-ear/#comment-2814309<p>Thanks xlinuks - that'll help for a a WAR file (a Web Application), but this tip is for people who've created an EAR file (an Enterprise Application). In the version of glassfish I have, I can't change the context root of a WAR file that's bundled inside an EAR file using the admin interface, although I can, as you've shown, change the context root of a WAR file.</p><p>FWIW, anyone who didn't know already, you CAN change the context root of a WAR file by editing it's web.xml or sun-web.xml, as long as it's not being deployed as part of an EAR file.</p>dobesTue, 08 Jul 2008 02:16:48 -0000http://www.dobesland.com/2008/01/15/glassfish-setting-the-context-root-of-a-war-inside-an-ear/#comment-2814312<p>The GlassFish server has a server GUI manager available at localhost port 4848 through the browser.<br>One can log in (default username/password are "admin" and "adminadmin" respectively), go to Applications-&gt;WebApplications, click on the name of your one and you'll see to the right the Context Root option which you can change and click "Save" and you're done.</p>xlinuksMon, 07 Jul 2008 23:46:47 -0000http://www.dobesland.com/2008/01/15/glassfish-setting-the-context-root-of-a-war-inside-an-ear/#comment-2814313<p>Thanks, had are hard time looking into this.</p>StephanFri, 16 May 2008 07:36:18 -0000http://www.dobesland.com/2008/01/15/glassfish-setting-the-context-root-of-a-war-inside-an-ear/#comment-2814308<p>Dobes,</p><p>This was just what I needed.
