ROOT context unexpectedly enabled in mod_cluster balancer after upgrading to JBoss EAP 7.1.0 or later

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • After upgrading to JBoss EAP 7.1.0 or later, it seems the ROOT context "/" is unexpectedly enabled on our mod_cluster balancer.
  • This prevents httpd from serving some content locally as expected or requests are routed to the wrong backend instance because of this.

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 7.1.0+
  • JBoss Core Services (JBCS) httpd
  • mod_cluster
