Deleting the ROOT.war directory and renaming the custom app to ROOT.war didnt help either. Not able to understand where things are going wrong. There is no exception in the server startup. But a page not found appears when http://localhost:8080/ is accessed. No redirection occurring as such .The jboss-web.xml file has this <jboss-web> <context-root>/ITMS</context-root> </jboss-web> where ITMS is the name of the application. Any clue?
