Configuration of the web application
The web application is configured in a xml file, which
- contains the configuration of the context of the web application.
- is named the same as the war file.
- resides in the same directory as the war file (deployment with Jetty, Tomcat has a separate directory for context files ).
In the configuration set the context to /jade-history-viewer
to make sure the web application is reachable at http://<host>:<port>/jade
.-history-viewer
When no context is configured there is still the fallback to the default setting which simply uses a context with the same name as the war file (e.g. jade-history-viewer-1.8.0 or jade-history-viewer-1.8-4236-26901), which
- contains version information and therefore will get quite confused after some time.
- changes with each new version(e.g. update of version 1.8.0 to 1.8.1).
Using a context configuration has the following advantages:
- The (Web) adresse is easier to read.
- The (Web) adresse doesn´t have to be changed in the bookmarks of clients each time a new version comes out.
