Setting Document Root in WebLogic 6.1

Question

I have recently migrated from WebLogic 5.1 to WebLogic 6.1, on Windows 2000
running jdk 1.3.1. My Document Root settings (weblogic.httpd.documentRoot)
from WebLogic 5.1 in my weblogic.properties file did not carry over to
WebLogic 6.1, so does anybody know how to set the Document Root in WebLogic
6.1? Or is there an equivalent to it now?
Thanks in advance,
Dustin N. Jenkins

Hi Dustin,
I think you posted this to the wrong newsgroup :-)
In WLS 6.1, document roots are Web Application specific. Unless you explicitly
change it, the default Web Application (the one that you get when you type in
the http://localhost:7001 URL), the document root is a folder under your domain's
application directory named "DefaultWebApp_{name-of-your-server}". Where {name-of-your-server}
is whatever value you assigned to the -Dweblogic.Name property, on the command
line you started WLS with. Refer to the WLS 6.1 documentation for instructions
on how to change this to a different Web Application. Here are a couple of links
that will provide you with some insight into this:
