No, the context root *must* be the same as the artifact id.

AeroGear's own examples can use what ever naming scheme is best suited for it. Well, they really should follow the general conventions we use JBoss wide, this is discussed as I mentioned in TAG-16, which applies to all projects.

Matthias, can you please raise a TAG issue so we can *all* be mobile friendly, not just aerogear. You can assign the issue to me.
