Static pages in Jboss

Question

Hi.

I have a noobish question. Probably a silly one. I have a static html page; that I want to deploy with my existing app on jboss. I put my static page xyz.html in my xyz-app.war folder in jboss.

I restarted the jboss and tried to hit http://localhost:8080/xyz-app/xyz.html

it doesn't come up as the control goes to Ruby Routes controller. I am running Rails code (JRUBY) and Java both togather.

How can I bypass route lookup and show the page? It currently says no route found for xyz.html.

Your application's web.xml must have a url-pattern set up which catches the xyz.html request. You need to refine that url-pattern, making sure it only catches requests you want to go to jruby. Any request that comes in which isn't caught by a url-pattern will be served as a static file.
