JBoss AS 7.1.1 errors out deploying web app to / - deployment

Question

I developed a small web app that uses Mysql 5.1 database, Hibernate 4 and Servlets and JSPs. I am using jboss 7.1.1 final to deploy the app to. I used eclipse to manage the project and deployment. Everything worked fine as long as I deployed to http://localhost:8080/TimeTracker But I wanted to try deploying to "/" instaed of /TimeTracker. So I disabled the welcome content in standalone.xml and added a jboss-web.xml in my WEB-INF directory. Here is my jboss-web.xml:
<jboss-web>
<context-root>/</context-root>
</jboss-web>
Here is my standalone.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

Can you help me sort this out?
PS: Sorry for a very long question. I wanted to provide as much detail as I could.
Thanks.

Answer 1

There is a problem with default-virtual-server definition.
You have
default-virtual-server="default-host"
But you only have a virtual server defined as "localhost:
virtual-server name="localhost"
The two should be same. Try:
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">
<connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http"/>
<virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="false">
<alias name="localhost"/>
<alias name="example.com"/>
</virtual-server>
</subsystem>
