Using "Get Context" button in Modules tab of application.xml editor

Question

Hello,
When you open the editor for the application.xml file there is a tab called Modules. On that tab there is a button named "Get Context"
When you select a module and click that button a popup window comes up with two fields. The first field is a dropdown of values and the second is a text field.
Where do the values in the dropdown come from?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi David,
they come from the name server on the SLD, at least the first item with the drop downs come from there. You can define context root prefixes for your J2EE web apps. The 2nd text box is the prefix specific to your app. So if you select in the drop down the prefix "test", and in the text box enter "myapp" you would then access your app when deployed as: http://server:port/test/myapp. The context root test/myapp would be reserved on the name server as well.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Jeff
