I don't think polluting the user deployments is good. Do you really need
that, or is it simply a habit ?
I personally don't care if the user deployments contain root.war or not -
what I do care is that users can very easily get started and verify they are on the right
track.
Getting a page verifying the server is working/running would be a great help here.
Not only for usability/gettingstarted concerns but also to have some
"identfiication"/branding of AS 7 so
you and everyone else know what they are seeing/using.
btw. the error reporting/behavior is different when you visit the management, the web root
or a deployed context -
would be nice to at least have them be somewhat consistent.
Why on the web container port rather on
the management one ?
Because noone knows where the management one is at.
First link on the default page should be the management - just like it was in previous
versions (and no, that isn't just a habit, its what makes sense :)
