Using the / context root

You can install the ColdFusion MX for J2EE Application Servers at the / context root or at another context root, such as /cfmx. If you do not use the / context root, users normally specify the context root as part of your application's URLs; for example, http://www.myco.com/cfmx/welcome.htm. If you install at the / context root, users do not have to include a context root in URLs.

However, you cannot have multiple J2EE web applications at the / context root. Therefore, if there is already a web application at the / context root, you cannot also have ColdFusion MX there. For example, when you create a new J2EE application server in JRun 4, JRun puts a default web application (JRun default Web Application, in the default-ear Enterprise application) at the / context root. You must remove the default web application or change it to a specific context root, such as /default, before you install ColdFusion MX at the / context root.

Note: If you install ColdFusion MX at the / context root, you do not need the RDS redirector web module. For more information on the RDS redirector web module, see "Using RDS".
