JSP With JBoss

Question

Hello friends,
Can anyone please help me how to set-up an environment in JBoss to run JSP files and Servlets. I want to use my own context and docBase location.
Thanks and Regards,
Niranjan

Does it always necessary that we need to create a WAR file.I have been doing it that way. But you could copy the app as a folder also at the same location (default/deploy). But if i remember correctly, JBoss gives some zip related error if you copy folder with name like say, TestABC, since it expects an archive. you might have to copy the folder as TestABC.war (Not a war file, just the folder name ends with ".war"). Try it and let me know :-)
By setting up environment I meant that in case
of Tomcat I was creating my own context by adding
Context specific information to server.xml file. Here
is it possible ?Guess you meant this.
<Host appBase="webapps" name="localhost">
        <Context docBase="tstweb" path="/tstweb" workDir="work\Catalina\localhost\tstweb">
        </Context>
</Host>You could try with the server.xml at "jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar". Its the same as the tomcat one. but with very many diff conf indeed.. like;
<Host name="localhost" autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="false" deployXML="false">being said that, try NOT to change the server.xml simply because it is SERVER xml and not your application specific. See this for details : http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=45&threadID=643344
