Setting fixed context root of a Tapestry app deployed on Glassfish

I was wondering if there is a way to make Tapestry application to always have the exact same context root when deployed on Glassfish server?

For example, I'd like to always access my app as localhost:8080/myApp instead of localhost:8080/myApp-1.01-SNAPSHOT or localhost:8080/myApp-2.01-SNAPSHOT.

I have made a glassfish-web.xml with the following property in there:

<glassfish-web-app>
    <context-root>/admin</context-root>
</glassfish-web-app>

but it doesn't do the trick.

Solution

  • Apparently, an oversight was done on my part. If I want Glassfish to use the context root I provided, I have to leave the Context Root field blank when deploying from web admin console.

    Everything else is fine, including WEB-INF/glassfish-web.xml file.
