[jboss-as7-dev] Missing 404 for non-existent web app context?

[Darran Lofthouse]

How about a more dynamic error page for the 404 error?  "You have 
connected to JBoss AS but not deployed any web applications"

Before the Root.war web app was added to the JBoss distributions in the 
past the number of people reporting JBoss did not work was quite high - 
what we don't know is how many actually gave up using it because they 
believed it was broken out of the box.

Darran Lofthouse.
