Angular WAR build

Question

I would like to build Angular 5 app to .war and deploy and run it from JBoss.

I have angular 5 app with maven for .war building. During the JBoss deployment there is an error but I can deploy after making WebContent catalog in WEB-INF but can't reach the site. I am not sure if my POM/WEB.XML are configured properly.

I am building using mvn compile war:war

I have no experience with Maven so if you could help me I would be very grateful.

Answer 1

Turned out that servlet name in and need to match. I also tried to open /vdb where I needed to go to /warname.
