[jboss-as7-dev] Welcome Root Behaviour

[Darran Lofthouse]

I am currently looking into an issue with the welcome root 
implementation regarding http and https redirects but while I am in this 
area I am also looking to pick up a couple of other issues identified / 
reported with the welcome root.

I just have a couple of questions to clarify the expected behaviour.

Firstly should it be possible to enable this for managed domains? 
Personally I think yes as it is a part of the subsystem configuration 
and there is no mention that it should not work for domains.

Secondly there is a console redirect if the http management interface 
can be located - in a managed domain this is difficult to detect as the 
web subsystem and http management interface run in different processes - 
also once there are multiple host controllers it is not as clear which 
http management interface to redirect to.

For this I believe we should remove all references to the console when 
running in domain mode and instead just have the welcome page with links 
to the various docs and forums but not attempt to expose internal 
management details.
