Deploy application under root path "/" in the NetWeaver Cloud

[Former Member]

Hi,

is it possible to deploy an application under the root path "/" inside the SAP NetWeaver cloud? Like you can do it by replacing the ROOT application of a Tomcat server?

Cheers,

Hi Sven,

Yes, this is possible.

Right-click on your web project and select Properties. Then go to the Web Project Settings page and change the "Context root" field to "/".

If your web project is an OSGi-free project (if you are not sure, then it is OSGi-free), you need additional workaround: you must add the following line in the WebContent/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file:

Web-ContextPath: /

Soon this workaround won't be needed anymore.

With the update from August 2nd, 2012 the workaround in MANIFEST.MF is not required anymore. It is just enough to change the context root in the Web Project Settings property page.

You need to update both the Eclipse Tools and the SDK. Make sure you follow the instructions from the official documentation: https://help.netweaver.ondemand.com/default.htm?updating_toolkit_sdk.html
