1.The proprietary JBoss extension:  put a 

jboss web.xml

 into your .war s WEB INF 

directory and specify the context root in that. 

2.Tomcat style:  call the file ROOT.war and deploy it. 

Using virtual hosts 

This is supported as of JBoss2.4.5 via a proprietary extension mechanism. 

To define a virtual host,  add a line of the following form to your webapp s 

WEB INF/jboss 

web.xml

 file (and set up your DNS to route requests for this hostname): 

myvirtualhost 

.You can also specify a context path in the 

WEB INF/jboss web.xml

 file like so: 

/mycontextpath     

You should be careful as a context path specification in a 

META INF/application.xml 

file will take precedence over the 

WEB INF/jboss web.xml

 specification. 

Running on port 80 

As port 80 is a privileged port, it is usually better to set up a mapping from it to a non 

privileged port (such as 8080) where the HTTP server is running. The set up required is 

operating system specific. For a how to for Unix systems, see 

http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/doc/User80.html. 

Running with Apache front ending Jetty 

It is not necessary to configure Apache to use Jetty, as Jetty is a fully featured HTTP server. 

However, if you have a special requirement for Apache, you can layer it in front of Jetty. 

Instructions for doing this can be found at 

http://jetty.mortbay.com/jetty/doc/JettyWithApache.html
