Jeffrey Schultz [http://community.jboss.org/people/jschultz] created the discussion "JBoss-web.xml no longer read after moving root context." To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/633903#633903 -------------------------------------------------------------- I am using JBoss 4.2.3 and have relocated the root context by defining a Context element in the jboss/server/profile/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server.xml file. This allows me to move the root context into a folder within our application folder, which is managed by end-users. I am trying to setup security on a couple of static files within the root context by creating a web.xml and jboss-web.xml under the WEB-INF folder, but it seems that after I move the root context that the jboss-web.xml is no longer used. Note that this does work before I move the root context. Is there something extra that I have to do if I move the root context? I also deleted the ROOT.war folder from the jboss-web.deployer folder, since it is now at another location. web.xml     <security-constraint>         <web-resource-collection>             <web-resource-name>Test</web-resource-name>             <url-pattern>/status/Test1.html</url-pattern>             <url-pattern>/status/Test2.html</url-pattern>             <http-method>GET</http-method>             <http-method>POST</http-method>         </web-resource-collection>         <auth-constraint>             <role-name>miuser</role-name>         </auth-constraint>     </security-constraint>     <security-role>         <description>A user </description>         <role-name>miuser</role-name>     </security-role>     <login-config>         <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>     </login-config> jboss-web.xml <jboss-web>     <security-domain>java:/jaas/MyPolicy</security-domain> </jboss-web> server.xml <!-- ADD static images DIRECTORY --> <Context path="/"     docBase="../../../app-data"     reloadable="true"     allowLinking="true"> </Context> -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/633903#633903] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
