Change context path of an Entreprise Application (ear) in glassfish

问题

It is possible to change the context path of a web application (war) in glassfish, but is there any solution to change the context path of an Entreprise application (ear)?

I tried to change it from glassfish-web.xml like this:

<!-- Default context -->
<context-root>/module1-web</context-root>

<!-- New context -->
<context-root>/erp/module1-web</context-root>

but it does not work. I tried to change it from the server but there is no way to change it.

Web application context path

Is there any solution for that problem?

Thank you.

Yes there is a solution for your problem.

You need to place a file named application.xml in the META-INF folder of your EAR.

Here is an example how the file could look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd" version="6">
  <application-name>your_application</application-name>
  <display-name>your_application</display-name>
  <module>
    <web>
      <web-uri>your-war-file.war</web-uri>
      <context-root>/your_desired_context</context-root>
    </web>
  </module>
  <module>
    <web>
      <web-uri>another-war-file.war</web-uri>
      <context-root>/another/context/for/the/second/war/file</context-root>
    </web>
  </module>
  <module>
    <ejb>ejb-module-example.jar</ejb>
  </module>
  <library-directory>lib</library-directory>
</application>

As you see you can also declare multiple web modules with different context paths.

You can generate the file with the maven-ear-plugin, for more information have a look at this.

Here is an example how to use the plugin:

To make it work, you have to separate your web module (the WAR) to an extra maven project. Then you can reference it in the plugin configuration like this:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.9</version>
            <configuration>
                <version>6</version>
                <defaultLibBundleDir>lib</defaultLibBundleDir>
                <applicationName>your_application</applicationName>
                <modules>
                    <webModule>
                        <groupId>com.yourcompany</groupId>
                        <artifactId>your-web-module</artifactId>
                        <contextRoot>/your-web-module</contextRoot>
                        <excluded>false</excluded>
                    </webModule>
                </modules>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
