Context root for Web modules settings

Use this page to specify the context root for Web modules during or after installation of an application onto a WebSphere Application Server deployment target.

To view this administrative console panel, click Applications > Enterprise Applications > application_name > Context root for Web modules. This panel is the same as the Context root for Web modules panel on the application installation and update wizards.

Attention: If an application is running, changing an application setting causes the application to restart. On stand-alone servers, the application restarts after you save the change. On multiple-server products, the application restarts after you save the change and files synchronize on the node where the application is installed.
Web module

Specifies the name of a Web module in the application that you are installing or that you are viewing after installation.

URI

Specifies the location of the module relative to the root of the application EAR file.

Context root

Specifies the context root of the Web application (WAR).

A context root for each Web module is defined in the application deployment descriptor during application assembly. Use this field to assign a different context root to a Web module. The context root is combined with the defined servlet mapping (from the WAR file) to compose the full URL that users type to access the servlet. For example, if the context root is /gettingstarted and the servlet mapping is MySession, then the URL is http://host:port/gettingstarted/MySession.
