Context root "/" set URL to localhost:8080//

I have a java spring web application running on a local widlfly. Until now it was always the case that I called the webapp via the URL "localhost:8080/myapp". Now I have set my context root in the jboss-web.xml to "/". My assumption would be that I can now call the website via localhost:8080/. But this redirects me to the Widlfly welcome content. I can only call my webapp via "localhost:8080//". Can I set the context root so that I reach the webapp via "localhost:8080"?

Thanks for your help.

Solution

  • You need to disable the default welcome app
