There are several ways to do this. If your webapp is part of an EAR file, then the webapp's context root can be defined in the EAR's META-INF/application.xml file (see: http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/guides/webguide/r2/en/html_single/#d0e777). <application> | ... | <module> | <web> | <web-uri>my.war</web-uri> | <context-root>m</context-root> | </web> | </module> | </application> | If your webapp is not packaged in an EAR, but deployed as just a webapp, then the context-root can be defined in WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml of the webapp. <jboss-web> | <context-root>my</context-root> | </jboss-web> | You don't typically deploy a webapp inside of a SAR since this is a service archive (at least I'm not familiar with that practice), either wrap the webapp in an EAR, or deploy it singularly.
