Question

Using NetBeans 7.2.

I have an Enterprise Application packaged as a .EAR.

In the POM, I have set the context root as described here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ear-plugin/examples/customizing-context-root.html to

/myapp

which by inspecting the application.xml that maven generates, it indeed gets set to this location (and I can browse to localhost:8080/myapp successfully).

However, when I ‘Run’ the .EAR in NetBeans it always opens

localhost:8080/myapp_war-1.0-SNAPSHOT

This page does not exist so I get a 404 and have to manually browse to the url.
I want it to open

localhost:8080/myapp

How do I make it do this?

I searched again today, and a bug has recently been filed. So I don’t believe there is a way around this at the moment.
