project url is too long

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8
1

Hi, I’m new to Vaadin and I’m following a course that I purchased off of the Udemy website.

When the teacher in the course deploys the application to a WildFly 11 server, he can access the project that is being created by typing:

http://localhost:8080/OPN-WEB/

OPN-WEB being the name of the maven module that deploys the .war file to the server.

But, when I deploy and try to access the application, I have to type:
http://localhost:8080/OPN-WEB-1.3.6.RELEASE/

I want to know how can I get rid of the 1.3.6.RELEASE part. Mind you, this isn’t the version of the project, it’s Spring Boot’s version that is listed as the projects parent:

org.springframework.boot spring-boot-starter-parent 1.3.6.RELEASE OPN-WEB war

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Context root is application server specific; you should be able to configure it in your web.xml in Wildfly: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28470872/how-to-define-context-path-in-wildfly
