+====== How to create a directory to serve only static content in Jboss ======
+====== For Jboss 7 ======
+Under Jboss 7, things have changed in this issue: Jboss AS 7 enforces the deployment with archive files (.war, .ear and so on) instead of cut-and-paste of the filesystem in the deployment directory.
+For achieveing the same goal, the only thing you have to do is:
+. let's suppose you have a directory called "myApp" with three webpages: index.html, first.html and second.html:
+<code>
+myApp
+  |
+  +--- index.html
+  |
+  +--- first.html
+  |
+  +--- second.html
+</code>
+. you have to select the three elements and select "save as a zip file": then the three files will be saved in a zip file called something like "index.zip".
+. rename the file to "myApp.war" (to do this you probably have to set the extensions of your windows as "visible").
+. and that's it, you have a war file ready to deploy into your jboss.
+**Yes, but I want also to deploy this application as the default application of the server**
+You only have to include a jboss-web.xml file with this content:
+<code xml>
+<jboss-web>
+    <context-root>/</context-root>
+</jboss-web>
+</code>
+It is probable that many applications would fight for the root position of your web server and this will result in crashes, be careful with this.

+===== For Jboss 5 and previous releases =====
+Let's say that you want to create a url like http://localhost:8080/doc to serve only static content.
+How it is done???
+Here are instructions:
+  * Create a directory ''JBOSS_HOME/server/xxx/deploy/doc.war''. The ".war" is **very important.**
+  * Under this directory, create a directory ''WEB-INF'' and inside this directory a file called ''web.xml''
+  * The content of the file ''web.xml'' will be:
+<code xml>
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4"
+ xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
+ xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
+ <display-name>Documentation</display-name>
+ <welcome-file-list>
+  <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
+ </welcome-file-list>
+</web-app>
+</code>
+  * And that's it. Start jboss and point a browser to http://localhost:8080/doc. You should see the page "index.html"
