No, if we distribute the welcome JAR as a deployment they will have to
remove it before they can install their own root context. However, it
is pretty easy to do - we could even put instructions for how to do it
on the landing page.
Hell we could even put a *button* to do it on the landing page.
This sounds awesome! For *sure* put a button there. That'll propel
AS7 past the competition in the "welcome-y-ness" department.
And getting rid of it would be as easy as deleting the jar before
deploying? Currently I wipe out ROOT.war as part of my builds if a
deployed app has a root context, so it'd be swell if nothing else is
needed besides whacking the jar (no changing of XML configs or some
such).
Anyways, fantastic idea. I especially like "the button". Maybe throw
in an "are you sure?" confirmation, and we're in like Flynn.
