The root context is a special case (obviously). Name your war file
ROOT.war (case sensitive).
As far as a tool, admins (at least UNIX admins) love command line (as I
do). I guess you could overcomplicate a couple mv's with a shell script
if you wanted...

Ok, that would work, what do you name it for root (empty context-name as I
set)?
I still wish there was more deploy control though. It would be handy to be
able to have wars sitting there undeployed and be able to switch them in and
out via a tool.

If you're just deploying war files, you can just omit the jboss-web.xml
and rename the war file to whatever you want, and that will be the
context-root.
For example, with not context-root in jboss-web.xml, naming a war file
foobar.war and dropping it in the deploy directory will give your web
app a contex-root of /foobar/. The name myapp.war will have a
context-root of /myapp/, etc.

One I have is this, up for discussion/opinion. Right now it seems the way
to
say the context name war is mapped to is in jboss-web.xml
(<context-root>).
But this resides inside the war.
For me, I would expect generally anything server specific to be externally
defined, or mapped. Right now it seems like a delivered app/war would have
to have my admin open and edit a jar to change the context mapping, which
seems wrong.
So for this particular case, wouldn't it make sense to have some external
config (not sure which file) allowing the mapping of what's in
jboss-web.xml
for context name to something else?
Of course I hope I just missed something and there is a way, I did look
thru
the dtd's and couldn't see where I would do it... But I'm very new to
jboss.
