Re: changing webapp root

that's definitely quicker than installing Apache and using modproxy and the proxypass directives... http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_proxy.html

in case you are already using apache

Example:
Suppose the local server has address http://wibble.org/; then

   ProxyPass         /mirror/foo/ http://foo.com/
   ProxyPassReverse  /mirror/foo/ http://foo.com/

I had a pretty strong background in Apache, not any so far in java or grails app development... need to get started quickstyle

Can anybody tell me if this is bad advice? getting started guide to deploying web apps, should I use Jetty or Tomcat, is there anyone who has built Gravl recently can perhaps help me through the process? i had no luck following the Ant build path.

I tried a couple of days ago from latest svn: http://code.google.com/p/gravl/

and my results were mixed... build complains when using Grails 1.0 that it was meant for 1.0+RC3 and when I tried with that version, my results were two failed tests resulted in no WAR file was created. I'm not sure where to go from here, one of the tests requires a pre-existing zip file set of posts from a Pebble blog (and you better update the file path, it points to Glen's desktop)

Should I start with Pebble? or just disable this test, and what about the other test

Thanks, (and sorry for thread-jacking)

we did this yesterday

Add a web-jetty.xml containing the following to your web-app/WEB-INF folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure//EN" "http://jetty.mortbay.org/configure.dtd">
<Configure class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
<Set name="contextPath">/</Set>
<Set name="war"><SystemProperty name="jetty.home" default="."/>/webapps/((YOUR_WAR_NAME without extension))</Set> << --- no brackets obviously //webapps/foo (its foo.war when packaged)
</Configure>

Hope that helps

Does anyone know how I can change the default webapp root when running grails?
I'd like to be able to configure it so i just hit http://localhost instead of http://localhost:8080/someProject.

I know when deploying to tomcat I could just create a ROOT.war. What about with jetty and grails?

Thanks!
