setting the context root
setting the context root can be done in different ways:
- context root defined by war file name
- context root defined by parameter of payara micro start command
- context root defined by parameter of payara micro start command
- context root defined by value in glassfish-web.xml
renaming the war file
renaming the war file to changes the context root to
renaming the war file to changes the context root to
command line parameter contextroot
the context root can be set with
java -jar payara-micro.jar --deploy whatever.war --contextroot /
command line parameter deploy
the context root can be included in the argument to the .
It follows the path to the war file separated by
( for Linux, for Windows).
general form: , i.e. to deploy
with context root , run:
java -jar payara-micro.jar --deploy some.war:/whatever
combinig contextroot and deploy
and can be used together:
java -jar payara-micro.jar --contextroot bar
--deploy /home/user/example.war:foo
--deploy /home/user/test.war
here is deployed in
while is deployed in
is identical to and
deploys to the effective context root while
deploys to . It follows
that leading can be given but aren’t required.
the tailing / must not be given.
Using example.war:/foo/
renders the URL <host>/foo/ inaccessible.
glassfish-web.xml
the context root can (obviously) be set in the configuration file ,
which is located in :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
