WebSphere, the same context root for multiple war's

I have a task to deploy two war files on websphere using scripting tool, but the problem is that this two wars should have the same context root's:

/App/Web/Start

and

/App/Web/Report

The context root for these wars is "/App"

But WebSphere by default throws an error than the context root is already exists, maybe You can suggest some ways to solve it?

Thanks

Solution

  • /App/Web/Start and /App/Web/Report are not the same context roots.

    You can define composite context roots in your application.xml:

    <context-root>/App/Web/Start</context-root>

    Or use Apache as frontend, with ProxyPass:

    ProxyPass /App/Web/Start/ http://localhost:9080/app1/Web/Start/
ProxyPass /App/Web/Report/ http://localhost:9080/app2/Web/Report/
