I just came across this as I needed it for some Flex/Grails proof-of-concept work. Many thanks for putting this together and having it included into Grails!

Looks like 1.0.2 is out, I think your patch won’t be out till 1.0.3.

Interz, thanks for pointing this out. So far, I had only concerned myself with the RunApp.groovy script, so no it doesn’t work for run-war.

I have produced a better implementation though:
- appContext is now defined in Init.groovy so it is available to all scripts
- RunApp.groovy and RunWar.groovy use the appContext to configure the server and display the url.
- RunAppHttps.groovy reuses RunApp.groovy so the only change here is for displaying the url.

You can download these modified grails-1.0.1 scripts here:
grails-1.0.1-context-path-mod.tar.gz

Does this work with run-war as well? When I startup in run-war with the app.context=/ it still starts with my /projectName

Thanks for the JIRA issue. Voted on it. Looks like it will be integrated into the 1.0.2 release! THanks!

Sorry for the delay. I’ve created a JIRA issue:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILS-2534

Attached to the issue is a modified RunApp.groovy in which the context path can be specified in the following locations (in order of precedence):
1. System property
2. application.properties
3. Config.groovy

This means you can now affect the context path in 1 of 3 ways:

1. grails -Dapp.context=mycontext run-app
2. in application.properties, define property:
app.context=mycontext
3. in Config.groovy define the app.context property:
environments {
development { app.context=’mycontext’ }
}

I hope the community finds this useful!

great, the sooner the better, I think a 1.0.2 release is coming out soon, I see they already have several JIRA issues queued for the release, maybe you can get this one in there. Seems pretty simple.

thanks

I’ll raise a JIRA issue soon – I am hoping to add the suggestions in this post http://www.nabble.com/Defining-the-context-path-in-application.properties-td12976557.html#a15331841 before I do that though.

I’ll try to get to it on Friday.

Hi,
Have you submitted as a JIRA issue to be incorporated into the grails distribution? Our app also requires this and it would be nice.

Any chance of a release for Grails 1.0?

This REALLY needs adding to the codebase now – it’s such a useful hack. Point Graham in the direction of this page.

Paul.
