Using ME 2013, when a web application is deployed to Glassfish, the context root is set to “/app.war” rather than “/app” as set in MyEclipse->Project Facets->web->Context root. Why?

stacey11,

Glassfish seems to have changed the autodeploy naming conventions. Before 3.1.2 MyEclipse would create domain/domain1/appname.war and you could access it at http://localhost:8080/appname. Now, you will need to access it at http://localhost:8080/appname.war.

Our dev team is looking at this issue. As a workaround, you can specify the context root in a glassfish-web.xml file. This file should be in the WEB-INF directory, alongside the web.xml file. Here is a sample, for just setting the context root:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE glassfish-web-app PUBLIC “-//GlassFish.org//DTD
GlassFish Application Server 3.1 Servlet 3.0//EN”
“http://glassfish.org/dtds/glassfish-web-app_3_0-1.dtd”&gt;
<glassfish-web-app>
<context-root>appname</context-root>
</glassfish-web-app>

Hope this helps.
