Providing a URL with paths, pages, and port numbers to an end user can sometimes be a challenge especially over the phone. Here's how to make your JBoss turn-key demo install a little easier to access.
* First and foremost, make sure you create backup copies of the files you are about to modify.
* Make sure you have no other HTTP servers running on port 80 (Start, Run, "cmd /k netstat" to see which ports are currently in use)
* Replace any occurrences of 8080 with 80 in the following files (assuming you installed in the default location)
** server.xml in C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8\jboss\server\default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar
** jboss-service.xml in C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8\jboss\server\default\deploy\http-invoker.sar\META-INF
When your server is started, it will now start on the standard port 80 where it can be addressed using simply the URL of the machine hosting the service (http://yourserver/).
To make the home page route users from the default JBoss page over to workspace, change your index.html under C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8\jboss\server\all\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\ROOT.war to the following:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Redirecting to Adobe LiveCycle Workspace</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=/workspace">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
