Changing the context root

Mansour
Hello all:

I deployed ofbiz on an external tomcat server. Other applications will be deployed to this tomcat.
I need to change the root path for ofbiz. For example:
ofbiz can be accessed at http://localhost:8443/webtools
and I changed ecommerce to be at the root, so http://localhost:8080 will show the ecommerce
application.

I need to be able to access it through http://localhost:8443/demo/webtools 
and for ecommerce http://localhost:8080/demo 

How can I get this ?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Changing the context root

I found a way around. When creating the files to run on tomcat, this process
generates a server.xml file to be copied to $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml

The generated file has some lines like:
<Context path="/webtools" docBase="/opt/ofbiz/specialpurpose/webpos/webapp/webpos"
         privileged="false" antiResourceLocking="true" antiJARLocking="true">
</Context>

These lines should be changed to:

<Context path="/ofbiz_demo/webtools" docBase="/opt/ofbiz/specialpurpose/webpos/webapp/webpos"
         privileged="false" antiResourceLocking="true" antiJARLocking="true">
</Context>

If there's a better way please let me know.
Thank you.

Re: Changing the context root

Sorry, the method I found wont work. I just didn't test it properly. Links still point to
"/webtools" or "/accounting" instead of "/ofbiz_demo/webtools" or /ofbiz_demo/accounting".

Still looking for a solution. Any advice ?
