[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & Deployment] - ROOT.war and virtual hosts

[trickyvail]

I am using JBoss AS 4.0.5

Under normal conditions my JBoss server makes the jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/ROOT.war directory available for static content. However as soon as I deploy an ear with a virtual host configuration I am unable to access this directory.

I've tried changing the name attribute of the host element inside the jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/server.xml file to reflect the hostname (as opposed to localhost) with no success.
<Server>
  | 
  | 
  |     <SNIP>
  | 
  |       <Engine name="jboss.web" defaultHost="www.mydomain.com">
  | 
  | 
  |         <Host name="www.mydomain.com"
  | 
  |            autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="false" deployXML="false"
  | 
  |            configClass="org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.config.JBossContextConfig"
  | 
  |            >
  | 
  | 
  | 
  |          </Host>
  | 
  | 
  | 
  |       </Engine>
  | 
  | 
  | 
  |    </Service>
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | </Server>
  | 
  | 

I think this behavior has changed from previous versions of JBoss? Could anyone direct me to directions for preventing virtual hosting from breaking the default ROOT.war behavior?
