99 Making uPortal the root context
99 Making uPortal the root context
Goal
Suppose you want to drop the "uPortal" off the url for your portal, i.e. so it can be accessed at "http://my.schoolname.edu".
Solution
Use a context xml file named ROOT.xml with this context:
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0" reloadable="true" crossContext="true"/>
What this does is makes uPortal the "default" webapp for Tomcat, telling it to try to use the contents of the uPortal "Context" for those cases where a request didn't map into another configured context.
