I am newbie for Wildfly till now I was working on tomcat to deploy my applications. Now just for add on features of Wildfly we want to move on to this.
I am using Windows Os, I have done with the basic implementation of wildfly to start service etc. but Unable to deploy the ROOT.war in place of Welcome page. I have studied and gone through lot of links, I added jboss-web.xml in my project WEB-INF folder with following settings as I got in links.
But I am still unable to deploy the ROOT.war in standalone deployment. Each times it goes to failed. Not getting what I have done Wrong.
`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web xmlns="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss-web_5_1.xsd">
<context-root>/</context-root>
</jboss-web>`
I have made the admin user, But for deploying I am using wildfly user setting only. For it also I uncommented the fields from bin/init.d wildfly.conf fly.
But totally unaware of the error.
Note: We also tried it on linux machine but ROOT.war is not getting deployed there too.used
To override the welcome webapp with Wildfly, you need to create a jboss-web.xml
in the WEB-INF
of your webapp with this content:
<jboss-web>
<context-root>/</context-root>
</jboss-web>
But if you try to access to the root directory (e.g. http://localhost:8080/) you will still have the default welcome content. To remove it, you just need to rename the directory welcome-content
in the Wildfly directory.
two files have to be added in WEB-INF folder before making war file
1. jboss-web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web xmlns="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss-web_5_1.xsd">
<context-root>/</context-root>
</jboss-web>
- empty bean.xml
If you are using Maven to deploy your application, you can change the default war file name in your pom.xml
to ROOT like this:
...
</dependencies>
<build>
<!-- <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName> -->
<finalName>ROOT</finalName>
When you deploy your application using Maven, Wildfly will automatically host it under /
. This way, you prevent changing the name of the war file yourself.
The welcome page has a note at the bottom,
To replace this page set "enable-welcome-root" to false in your server
configuration and deploy your own war with / as its context path.
Please confirm if you did set the enable-welcome-root to false.
Hope that helps
For my wildfly 9.0.1 deployment, we did the following two and it worked.
jboss-web.xml as described above by other experts.
In standalone.xml,
<host name="default-host" alias="localhost, myAppDomain.com" default-web-module="myApp.war">
<location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>
<filter-ref name="server-header"/>
<filter-ref name="x-powered-by-header"/>
</host>
If your web module is inside an ear you can you the following syntax
<host name="default-host" alias="localhost" default-web-module="myApp.ear.myWebApp.war">
