Can I change web application root globally in jboss 4.2?

Question

Hi,

I have following situation of deployment:

• application_one.war
• application_two.war
• application_three.war

When I deploy it in Jboss, I get three url contexts:

• http//myserver/application_one/
• http//myserver/application_two/
• http//myserver/application_three/

Is it possible to change (prepend) globally an additional path to all deployed webapplication in a single setting, so that my new path would look like this?

• http//myserver/globalprefix/application_one/
• http//myserver/globalprefix/application_two/
• http//myserver/globalprefix/application_three/

I do not want to change the war by using jboss-web.xml, but I am looking to do this in a general way on a central position, so even new wars will get this context prepended.

This is slightly off topic, but in a lot of production environments you'd have a web server such as Apache "in front" of your appserver (in this case JBoss), which you would be able to set up with a path (check out mod_rewrite, though don't quote me on that).
