If I understand you correctly, you still want access to the "JBoss Home page" via some url such as http://localhost:8080/home One possibility: rename ROOT.war to home.war and move it to the deploy directory Another possibility: add a jboss-web.xml file to ROOT.war/WEB-INF and set the context (similar to what you did for your other app that is now using the "/" context) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4179160#...
