What is the equivalent of the htdocs folder in a JBoss AS instance

Static files can be hosted in a Apache HTTP server under the htdocs folder, what would be its equivalent in a JBoss AS instance.

Solution

  • Technically, there's nothing to stop you putting stuff in deploy\jboss-web.deployer\ROOT.war, and it'll be served from the root, but you're strongly discouraged from doing so. You should really package your content into a WAR and deploy that.

    Remember, JBossAS is a JavaEE application server first, and a web server second.
