I have the following problem, which makes me going nuts:
I want to configure my Undertow-Subsystem of my Wildfly 10.0.0 Final app-server, so it can handle static content on root (/) while a WAR-file is deployed.
When no WAR is deployed, it shows the welcome-content, as configured in the standalone.xml:
<location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>
and
<file name="welcome-content" path="${jboss.home.dir}/welcome-content"/>
As soon as my WAR is deployed, no more welcome-content is shown. Until now, exactly, what I wanted. Now I want to extract our angular-client to a separate directory, lets say /home/user/awesomeClientDir.
I tried adding a new location and file-handler, which works nicely in a subpath like www.website.com/subpath/index.html
As soon as I configure the path to /, no matter if my welcome-content is still in my standalone.xml or not, the WAR-file removes the ability to access my static content.
I have absolutely no idea, how I can achieve this... The web.xml in my WAR hooks my API into the /rest subpath, which works great in any case, but my static content just won't be available at / (403 / 404 depending on constellation)
Any help or hint will be appreciated, the struggle is real with this one!
You should bind deploy your application (war) to /rest and have the resteasy application listen to root of that application.
This way undertow subsystem can still handle / resource and all others (but /rest) with static content handler (or any other if you want)
