Changing the context path for Studio on WebLogic Server

When you first install Studio, it uses the context path /eid/. After you deploy Studio, you can change to a different context path.

1. From the top level of the WebLogic .zip file, extract the file change-context-roots-deployment-plan.xml.
2. In the <module-override> section of the file:
   1. Verify that the value of <module-name> matches the actual name of the Studio WebLogic .ear file.

      For example:

      <module-override>
          <module-name>endeca-portal-weblogic-3.1.0.12345.ear</module-name>

      If necessary, update the value to match the file name.

   2. Under <variable-definition>, edit the values of the <variable> elements to reflect the new context path.

      Make sure to update all of the variables. There are variables for Studio as a whole as well as individual variables for each Studio component.

      By default, as an example, the <variable> elements are configured to change the context path to /studio/, as shown in the following excerpt.

      <variable>
          <name>endeca-portal-context-root</name>
          <value>/studio/</value>
      </variable>
      <variable>
          <name>endeca-navigation-portlet-context-root</name>
          <value>/studio/endeca-navigation-portlet/</value>
      </variable>

      Replace all instances of /studio/ with the context path you want to use. For example, if you were changing the context path to /newpath/, in values of the <variable> elements, you would replace all instances of /studio/ with /newpath/:

      <variable>
          <name>endeca-portal-context-root</name>
          <value>/newpath/</value>
      </variable>
      <variable>
          <name>endeca-navigation-portlet-context-root</name>
          <value>/newpath/endeca-navigation-portlet/</value>
      </variable>

   3. Save the file.
