Hi all,

I use Jbuilder with websphere 4.0
I create a new EAR application with WAR web application inside.
When I create web application I'm not able to set its context root to "/" (I don't want to have to write
http://localhost/mywebapp/index.jsp where mywebapp is context root, I really want to have to write only http://localhost/index.jsp so context root equals /)
But from jbulder I can't do so, it wants at least one char
inside context root textbox.

It is big problem expecially for links and during deployment.
(in fact I can't edit application.xml file inside EAR file).
And I have debug probel too, so !
Can someone hlep me ? Some idea ?

I'm not sure about WebSphere, but for a generic application server or
even servlet runner it is possible to specify the main
web-application, which must be available using root context "/".
for example, as for Weblogic or Tomcat this must be made using the
server's XML descriptor or application console.
