Myapp.com/AwareIM > MyApp.com (Tomcat fix)

Post by hpl123 »

Hi all,
Here is a tip on how to configure the URL of Aware IM applications so the "AwareIM" is not part of the app URL. This is the "real" fix and done in Tomcat. To clarify, the default app URL is "myapp.com:8080/AwareIM/logonAdmin.html" and we can change the folder name (so the URL is: "myapp.com:8080/myapp/logonAdmin.html"). This fix below does this: "myapp.com:8080/logonAdmin.html".

It´s an easy fix and most of us already know the steps as the steps are the same as renaming our app folder. The only thing we need to do is rename the folder to ROOT instead (case sensitive) i.e. follow this guide: http://www.awareim.com/forum/viewtopic. ... name+aware and rename the folder to ROOT.

I have tested this and works but haven´t used it in a live app so when/if other developers use/test etc. this (or run into potential issues), please report them here. There SHOULDN´T be any issues as this is a Tomcat fix and used in many webapps BUT I don´t know how Aware IM reacts to this change.

Thanks
