When you deploy web apps in JBoss/Tomcat, jboss uses a couple of "working" directories inside server/MY_SERVER.
One of them is called "work" and one of them is called "tmp".
I have noticed that, especially on Windows 2000, sometimes stuff is not getting properly deleted from one or both of these directories. When that happens, stuff can get screwed up. ;) It seems to be the equivalent of you fixing something, but your changes not "taking" -- and I'm sure you know what a nightmare that can be.
Could be a file permission thing, as I suggested earlier in another post in response to problems someone else was having with deploying on WebLogic. I haven't had time to learn about Windows 2000 security (gee, can't wait) and file management.
I ended up having problems with the virtual host setup on my unix box, though it might just be a mozilla problem or misconfiguration. So I changed my jboss-web.xml to simply this:
<jboss-web> <context-root>/</context-root> </jboss-web>
That should be the equivalent of replacing the "default" web app (which I removed from jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/ROOT.war to make sure there weren't further conflicts), but I'm not 100% positive. So that's what I should have posted as the original jboss-web xml. Didn't mean to throw the whole virtual-host thing in there when it's not necessary.
Hope you are having better luck than me!

James, sorry, but this file ended up causing problems. Obviously there is more to configuring a virtual host than this, but I haven't had time to research it yet.
I'll repost as I tackle that.

No, but I was overlooking something simple (virtual host setup) to do the equivalent, in jboss-web.xml:
<jboss-web> <context-root>/</context-root> <virtual-host>foo</virtual-host> </jboss-web>
Which would allow you to access your web app using:
http://foo:8080/
with no context name.
Hope that helps, Erik

Subject: Re: [OT] JBoss/Tomcat & default context
The main thing I want to get around is having to restart the server, if that's possible.
Thanks, Erik

Hi. I need to test my foo.war file using the default context in JBoss 3.2.4/Tomcat 5. So right now I am unpacking the war and placing all the contents inside /deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/ROOT.war/, in place of the default JBoss web app contents.
Is there an easier way?
