[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3293) root context

[Arron Ferguson (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3293?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12655662#comment-12655662 ] 

Arron Ferguson commented on AS7-3293:
-------------------------------------

Remy,

I am not asking for support, I am reporting a bug. Glassfish 3.1.1 successfully handles the root context based on the Servlet spec, JBoss 7.1 Final is apparently not.

I'd suggest a different tone and approach (i.e. a more professional one) if you wish for long term survival of the JBoss brand; flaming someone for reporting a bug will scare away any future attempts at using this product and spending money on your employer's storefront.

> Context root of a deployed web app results in an HTTP 404 despite web.xml specifying the correct path to a welcome file, e.g.:
>   <welcome-file-list>
>     <welcome-file>/index.html</welcome-file>
>   </welcome-file-list>
> ...
>   <servlet>
>     <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
>     <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
>     <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
>   </servlet>
>   <servlet-mapping>
>     <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
>     <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
>   </servlet-mapping>
> Accessing the context root (e.g. http://localhost:8080/myapp/) will result in:
> HTTP Status 404 - /myapp/
> for example.
> On a side note, I'm using a snapshot (jboss-as-7.1.0.Final-SNAPSHOT) and yet the 404 page is stating at the bottom of the 404 page that it is "JBoss Web/7.0.8.Final". Is this right?
